An Investigation Unravels
Inspector Lily Mara and Lieutenant Gabriel Brantley investigate paranormal activity on behalf of The Committee - a powerful and mysterious governing body. Lily is a Chosen - a sorcerer - who uses her powers of divination to solve cases; Chosen are enemies of The Committee, and Lily is a captive that is forced to use her powers in service of a higher authority. Gabriel, who is not a Chosen, investigates alongside Lily and keeps her on a short leash, to make sure she ‘behaves.’
Their pursuit of a Lurker - a kind of demon - leads them to the reclusive home of Comrade Aria - a high-ranking member of The Committee - who insists that no demon has visited the area. Aria lives near the edge of The Gray Zone - a foggy and mysterious area deeper in the forest, believed to harbor powerful magic; she’s alone in the house, but claims her sister Mallory will be returning that night...
A Small Film With Big Plans
We are making a short film that has the potential to spark a franchise. This short film takes place in a larger world, and this short film is just the first step we take into it.
The clash between The Committee and the Chosen tears this world apart, forcing those in the crossfire to take sides. When left to their own devices, Chosen have the potential to change humanity for the better...or worse. To preserve order, The Committee cracks down on the Chosen, forcing them to either flee or cooperate. This epic clash provokes massive conflict that stretches across the story's universe and manifests in a limitless number of stories.
Principal photography is in October 2023. The finished film will be completed in the Spring of 2024.

Every dollar counts, but it's not just about money. We are a group of passionate storytellers that want to breathe life into something greater than ourselves. We have a unique opportunity to launch a world of stories and make a mark on a budding franchise.
