Indie Cinema Doesn't Die.
It Gets Taken.
The studios didn't kill independent film — apathy did. We're taking it back one theater, one city, one demand at a time. You don't need a fan base. You need 30 people in your city who give a damn.

One fever dream. One slow descent.
One release you control.
The first audience-owned theatrical distribution campaign — built from the ground up, one city at a time.
Dead Dawn
A small-town fever dream with a body count — and a punchline.
In a small southern town, Anna-Beth is the post office clerk who can't say no — to a belligerent customer, to her boss, to a controlling ex who refuses to let go. She's drowning in quiet desperation, barely holding her world together. But when something dark descends with the dawn, the woman everyone overlooked discovers exactly what she's made of.

Silt
Some wounds don't heal. They surface.
A weekend getaway at a secluded lake promises a reset for a fractured group of friends — but old wounds don't stay buried for long. As tensions rise and loyalties shift, the lake begins to change them in ways they can't explain… or escape.
