RIPPLE IN A POND OF BLOOD (2026)

We've wrapped post-production on RIPPLE IN A POND OF BLOOD, and will be submitting the film to festivals and distributors!

A woman's attempt to resurrect her deceased dog through occult rituals goes horribly wrong, tearing a hole in reality and unleashing a slow, surreal descent into violence and madness on a surrounding small town.

I DON'T LIKE IT HERE (2025)

I DON'T LIKE IT HERE has been acquired as a Screambox Exclusive and will release digitally on JUNE 5, 2026.

A recently paroled outsider returns to his desolate hometown, only to find a community plagued by a disturbing darkness. As he grapples with his own past and the town’s sinister secrets, he becomes the prime suspect in a series of gruesome murders.

Made for less than $20K in Barstow, CA with a very small crew. The film stars Jacob Nichols (Grieve), Danielle Keaton (Grieve), Marieh Delfino (Jeepers Creepers 2, The Invitation), John Mawson (Unsinkable), Lois Larimore (The Punisher), Michael Petted (American Horror Story), Rachael Meyers (The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Bryan McKinley (The Ghost and the Whale), and Meghan McLeod (Fallout 76).

GRIEVE (2023)

Trailer for GRIEVE (2023) by Terror Films

My first feature film! I am incredibly proud of what our talented and small crew achieved with so little. We poured our whole selves into this tribute to creeping horror and slow cinema. Tremendously grateful to Terror Films for releasing Grieve in October 2023! Named as a 'Hidden Horror Gem You Might've Missed' by Bloody-Disgusting and called "Ghostly and poetic" by The New York Times!
