When an otherworldly being crashes near a lab, chaos is unleashed.

Cosmic Crash

Even with a serial killer on her heels, Flora knows how to seize an opportunity.

Follow You

In the small town of Kennedy, best friends Hannah and Julie spend their summer nights at the last video store, Video Barn, watching cult horror films. Jules finds a mysterious VHS tape labeled “Just press play!” and, days later, vanishes. Overcome with guilt, Hannah watches the tape and is horrified to see Jules trapped inside the TV, caught in a nightmarish loop of twisted nostalgia. Now, Hannah must uncover the truth and face the sinister force within the tape. "Video Barn" pays homage to 80s surrealist films, blending dark humor, friendship, and the pull of the unknown. Will Hannah save Jules or share her fate?

Drop

A widower still reeling from the tragic death of his wife is left to care for a newborn alone. Isolated, sleep-deprived, and grief-stricken, he begins to suspect a malevolent presence is closing in on his baby.

The Widower

A short description. (Optional. A logline works well here - shown in guide / social media sharing.)

A podcast about urban legends takes an eerie turn when the supernatural stories seem to come true in the life of a new
father. Now he must confront if these uncanny experiences are real or simply the product of stress in his home life.

Manifest Destiny

In "Rejected," a short horror parody, three twisted tales of macabre horror unfold, all linked by an antiquated digital camera from 1997. The tales intertwine, creating a narrative that is both terrifying and hilariously absurd.
