AFTER THEIR FATHER PASSES
away, two siblings Nathan (Nathan Wallace) and Mira (Jenna Rose Sander), return to their old coastal family farm to sell the land. However, darker forces may be at play that will force them to reanalyze their relation to their ancestor’s land, confront their own demons, the tenebrous depths of the sea, and the vengeful secrets that surround them.


Writer/director, and co-star, Finnerty, has made a striking and powerful debut feature, tight as a corset, sharp as a needle. Tackling the oppressive shroud of ingrained misogyny and the spectres of paranoia, delusion, and mental illness, she’s fabricated a disquieting, dream-like portrait of injustice and vengeance that will linger long in the mind, like the film’s final haunting gaze.
Screens with Box on the Hill
(Dir: Erik Odom/US/8 min) A man is perched in a fortress of solitude. A younger man, visiting, is consumed by his own trauma. In his mind, revenge is the only path.


The Businessman (Dir: Nathan Ginter/US/9 min) On the way home from school, a young girl runs into a mysterious salesman who looks to instill the fear of financial insecurity and coerce her into selling fashion magazines for him.
