WINNER! Nevermore Jury Award - Best Supporting Actor - Josh Crotty ("Doug")

Nevermore Jury Award Nominee - Best Supporting Actress - Tyra Colar ("Jordan")


In 1997, 11-year-old Jesse and Grandpa Gene (John Schneider, The Dukes of Hazzard) go on a hunting trip deep in the woods. While tracking a deer, Jesse and Gene are separated. As the shadows of the forest grow deeper, Gene finds the deer and Jesse finds a mysterious staircase in the woods and disappears. Fast forward 20 years later and a group of hikers, led by brothers Nick (Adam Korson) and Josh (Brent Bailey), set off into the very same woods. Unfortunately for them, nothing goes as planned and they all come face-to-face with the very same horrors that Jesse discovered all those years ago. This is a story of fear and death and heroism in the unlikeliest of circumstances.

Director Biography - Peter "Drago" Tiemann

This is Drago’s directorial debut after 20 years behind the camera as a Second Unit Director and Stunt Coordinator. He has a 100% safety record and is the Chair for the SAG/AFTRA Stunt & Safety Committee for the Pacific Northwest, he is also member of the Directors Guild of America. This is Drago’s fourth feature film as a Producer, and he is the Co-Founder of Wandering Dragon Productions & Hazard Factory Stunts & FX.


I fell in love with “Creature Features” as a young boy, sneaking out at midnight to watch Fright Night, Elvira’s Movie Macabre, and the classic Twilight Zone. These shows really opened up a whole new world for me. I always wanted to make movies, and my passion has been for making the ”impossible” a reality. These days, most movies are done with CGI, but I want to give the cast, crew and audience a visceral experience. This is achieved only with the practical magic that is puppetry, engineering, and full body creature suits. I’m excited to bring this story, vision and experience to the screen.
