ABOUT THE PROJECT
We love movies. We adore Horror. We need you.
This project is a culmination of many years of studying, practicing, and making strides inside of an art form we breathe and feel. We are passionate about our cast, our crew, our story and most of all the impact we wish to strive for. This is our big swing into the festival circuit.
This film explores themes of abandonment, friendship, hardship and forgiveness. Its a completely serious horror film. A completely serious comedy. And a completely unserious film.
Our inspiration for this film can be found in the likes of Evil Dead, From Dusk till Till Dawn, Near Dark, Fargo, Mandy, Dracula.

THE STORY
The Last Job is a horror short about two estranged friends stealing the body of a mobster they ripped off. They accept the job to steal his body after his recent death. However, the job is really a ruse, and the body? A fiendish ghoul. The lost friends must now reconcile to survive the night. Witches, Ghouls, Practical Blood a Gothic Western nightmare.
Visual themes of color, props, and location are crucial to our storytelling as it helps drive a more complex narrative for our characters to live in. We are aiming to rent locations for this film, as well as pushing the language of our film with harsh, but concise lighting choices. We are looking to rent equipment and support our talent through this campaign.

Rene Leech and Abbey Vollman are our Vince and Skylar. Skylar is a hotheaded, irresponsible, good-hearted lost soul. Vince is cold and auspicious; avoidant of the world around them. We love Rene and Abbey so much and wrote these characters for them. We have never seen this film without the two of these wonderful performers who are full of charisma, laughter and anguish. Please be sure to check out their pages and give them a follow!

The Impact
Losing your way with someone is something we can all relate too. Life is hard, people happen, things happen, all outside of our control. We have all drifted away from friends and our story is found in frustration, grief, and hard choices. Full of grit, heavy on the avoidant attachment and anxious attachment styles, our Impact comes from our belief in forgiveness. This film seeks to understand hard people.
We know this film will be a powerful contender in the festival circuit. Our characters are brutal. Our Filmmakers are brutal. Our Crew is brutal. We are ready to tell a larger more impactful story.

ABOUT US
We love movies. We adore Horror. We need you.
This project is a culmination of many years of studying, practicing, and making strides inside of an art form we breathe and feel. Last year we worked on our first film together, "Amber" and it brought us so much clarity about the future of our partnership as filmmakers. Our productions move fast, we agree, we hold a deep love for the genre of horror, just as much as we hold a deep love for all of film. We hold a great trust in each other to accomplish this big swing of ours.
We have both struggled with alot of grief and hardship in the last few years as many of you have and we know times are trying, so we hope to make a movie that not only connects with us, but maybe you. : )
