Scenes from last night’s world premiere of Soon Dead at the @bigapplefilmfestival in Manhattan. It was a thrill to finally share our film with an audience. Looking forward to the next one. Stay tuned!
Haunted Basement begins its festival run at @chattfilmfest next month! Our short will screen virtually in the Dangerous Visions: Fun-size Epics Vol. 1 block on June 19. We’re excited to start sharing HB with audiences. Stay tuned for our theatrical premiere!
We’re delighted to announce that @soondeadfilm will have its world premiere in NYC at the Big Apple Film Festival.
Thank you to @bigapplefilmfestival and to everyone who helped make this film a reality. See you in May!
The vision for @soondeadfilm started with hundreds of stills. We drew inspiration from a wide variety of films & shows, all of which helped shape our visual style. Our incredible crew then brought that vision to life.

One of the best parts of making Haunted Basement was starting with stills from films we love and watching those references evolve into something entirely our own. Shoutout to our camera and lighting teams for executing the vision.
