THE HOUSE ON THE CLIFF (2022)
While retreating to a remote mountain house to write, a solitary author finds reality unraveling after a strange and inexplicable encounter.
The House on the Cliff is a short film made by a cast/crew of four friends while traveling in Colorado in June 2022. On our car ride from Ouray, we hashed out the outline of the story. In Colorado Springs, we wrote the script and shot list. In Boulder and Rocky Mountain National Park, we filmed the movie in under 3 days. Pre-production and production took a total of 5 days. Editing took under a month, and the short film was ready to submit to film festivals by July 2022.
