Logline: During a frigid hunting trip in rural Maine, a grieving young man confronts his estranged grandfather, suspecting him of a dark family secret - as a mythic predator stalks their path, they must face the truth or destroy each other in the silence between generations.

Roles & Description:  

PIERCE (LATE 50s - EARLY 60s)

A relic of a human being. Taught his kids how to gut a deer before he said "I love you." He carries a heavy guilt with rough edges hardened by a life of unspoken regret. Stoic, brutal, and quietly terrified he’s passed nothing good down the line.

Vibe: Bill Murray in Saint Vincent, Jeff Bridges in Hell or High Water, Tommy Lee Jones in No Country for Old Men.

LIAM (LATE TEENs - EARLY 20s)

A young man caught between grief and vengeance. After the traumatic death of his father, he arrives at his grandfather's home, rifle in hand, determined to ease his pain. Quippy, smart, wounded, and trying desperately to understand his place in the world.

Vibe: Lucas Hedges in Manchester by the Sea, Timothée Chalamet in The King.

CASTING

Filmmaker Jordan Pacheco is excited to announce the casting call for his upcoming short film, "The Night The War Began".

Description: "This project is unlike anything I’ve done before. It’s bold, political, and urgent—a fictional story that feels dangerously close to becoming our reality. It’s a warning about how divided we’ve become… and how quickly the next American civil war could begin. When that moment comes—where will you be?"

3 Thousand Letters

Fellow local independent filmmaker, Lyria Garcia, is making a documentary “3 Thousand Letters” — a story following the plight of JP, a Brazilian immigrant who arrived in 1999 only to face the complex U.S. Immigration System.

After years of dead ends with lawyers, he took matters into his own hands—writing 3,179 letters to the White House, pleading for amnesty and reform.
