PHANTASMIC | A Short Horror Film | Award Winning
Deprived of her anxiety medication, a distressed woman's panic attacks send her spiraling into a sensory-driven nightmare.
WINNER of Best Actor at the 2024 St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase and an Official Selection of the 2024 St. Louis International Film Festival.
The concept for this short came from feeling overwhelmed with everyday life. Job, relationships, and obligations always feel like they're closing in on me all the time. So, I dreamed up a character experiencing something similar, however, deprived of her anxiety medication after the sudden death of her doctor, she's left withdrawing and suffers from an intense panic attack that soon turns into a nightmare. I usually make comedies, but I just felt like making something weird and creepy. I hope you enjoy the film!
