![/ FROM DUSTDirector Christian Cuevas delves into the dark underbelly of societal perceptions surrounding aging, gender dynamics, and danger in his horror short film, “From Dust.” The story revolves around a married college professor, portrayed by Ben Livingston (known for his roles in “The Knick,” “Mr. Robot,” and “Only Murders In The Building”), who believes he is embarking on a clandestine late-night rendezvous with a student. However, as the plot unfolds, it becomes evident that he is being lured into a perilous trap that challenges his assumptions and forces him to confront the horrors that lie beneath the surface.Watch now on FS and FS YouTube Channel [links in bio]#instatrailer #shortfilm #fromdust #halloweenweek #collegeprofessor #hookup #trap #horror #halloween](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6844376232295914705726_0_84bfa17125e6f2873234fb153b2d6ae0.jpg?o=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&h=3d21a631d55fa8d58807d4d941d73459)
