Coming Soon!

We recently completed THE DROWNING PLACE, an atmospheric horror short set in the world of the feature film WHISPER LAKE. Designed as a proof-of-concept for the larger mythology, the film explores guilt, grief, and the terrifying idea that some bodies of water remember what happened there. We’re currently beginning our festival submissions and are excited to share this strange, haunting little nightmare with audiences soon.

SYNOPSIS

When Ella returns to the abandoned lake where something terrible happened, she finds herself drawn back to the water by a voice that should be dead. As the lake begins speaking through whispers, memories, and impossible visions, Ella is forced to confront the guilt she has tried to bury. But the water remembers what she did, and what waits beneath the surface has not forgotten. THE DROWNING PLACE is a supernatural horror short about guilt, grief, and the terrifying pull of unresolved trauma.
