Hey there!

We’re the filmmakers behind SEANCE FOR THE ‘GRAM, an upcoming horror short film. The story follows three influencers who fake a séance for their deceased classmate on a livestream, only to attract more attention than they bargained for.

This film is a true passion project. We’ve spent over a year bringing it to life, after tossing the idea around for even longer. It’s packed with silly, anarchic fun and genuinely terrifying scares—creating it has been almost as thrilling as we hope it will be to watch.

But as much time and effort as we have put in already, we still need your help!

Why We Need You

We’ve already wrapped three (and a half) intense days of filming, and our talented team of actors and collaborators delivered some incredible footage during that time. This movie is shaping up to be amazing—but there’s still a lot of work to be done to bring it across the finish line.

We Still Have Stuff to Shoot!
There are more key moments to capture, and we need your help to get back on set and complete the story.

VFX!
With dozens of visual effects shots to plan, create, and polish, we need the scares to look as real and thrilling as possible.

Post-Production Magic
From color correction to scoring the film, to mixing and mastering sound effects, all the finishing touches will turn our promising footage into a completed film.

Getting SEANCE FOR THE ‘GRAM Out There
We’re confident this film has what it takes for a successful run on the festival circuit. To make that happen, we’ll need support for festival submission fees, marketing, and travel to showcase it.

We’re passionate about this project and truly believe it has the potential to be a game-changer for us and our careers. With your help, we can make SEANCE FOR THE ‘GRAM everything we know it can be—and share it with audiences around the world. Let’s make it happen together!

Director's Statement

Seance for the 'Gram started as a proof-of-concept short for a feature script I’ve been developing with co-writer Will Levinger. Like many of our ideas, it all began with a single gag—one we can’t spoil—but we built the story backward from that moment. 

While many short films function as a teaser for a larger project, I wanted this to stand on its own: a complete, satisfying horror experience. Inspired by filmmakers like George Miller, Sam Peckinpah, and Alfred Hitchcock, we aimed to pack the film with distinct visuals and original scares, keeping the audience engaged beyond just one big twist.

Beyond the scares, I needed an emotional anchor. As someone who’s not exactly social media savvy, I worried the film might feel like millennial finger-wagging at Zoomers. Instead, we decided to focus in on bullying as our universal theme. I was on both the giving and receiving end of bullying as a kid—sometimes out of fear of being bullied myself—which is a phenomenon we hoped to touch on in the film. This is especially true of our “final girl,” Braeden, as he desperately tries to escape the damage he's caused. That emotional core, combined with an incredible cast and crew, shaped the film into something more than just a fun horror short.

Seance for the 'Gram is a fully independent passion project, and I truly believe it’s the best short I’ve been a part of. Huge thanks to our amazing team and everyone who’s supported us along the way!
