Creepy, dark, silly and wild. This package is full of deranged humour and bone-chilling scares. Best viewed with friends and with the lights off.


Iris is hiding a supernatural secret from her boyfriend, Dan. When he surprises her for her birthday, they must face it together as a couple.


Featuring eye-popping visual effects by the legends at Sandbox VFX (CREED III, I TONYA, GRETEL & HANSEL) and practical effects by SFX makeup wizard Santino Ferrese (STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3), Austin Kase's HIDE YOUR CRAZY is a horror rom-com about being truly seen.

Director Austin Kase will be in attendance at the September 23 screening.
