Lie Down, Breathe Out
An anonymous patient wakes in a stark medical clinic, hurting and disoriented. Staff insist the procedure must proceed without pain relief: suffer now or suffer more later. As oddities multiply, hopes of escape dissolve into an oppressively surreal gauntlet. A claustrophobic horror about women’s bodily autonomy, told with precision, restraint and a backroom, institutional chill that leaves a mark.
Liability
Louis, a socially awkward support worker, discovers a few things were left out of his job description when he's paired with Kyle, a rule-breaking client with Down Syndrome. Developed with Joshua Campton.
Tunnel Vision
A man’s frustration with a blown lightbulb leads him to discover a strange hole in his wall.
Into the Earth
A young girl watches her family descend into darkness as they disconnect from a failing society and take control of their lives.
