About
We are creating a proof-of-concept short for Underwhorl, establishing its haunting visual world, mythology, and emotional core. The film will serve as a launchpad to develop Underwhorl into a feature.
Impact
Underwhorl transforms horror into a call for empathy, confronting the silence surrounding sexual violence. By placing bystanders at the heart of the story, it asks audiences to look closer, listen sooner, and choose compassion over avoidance.
Progress
Underwhorl is production-ready, with a locked script, attached cast, and a complete pitch deck, budget, and shooting schedule. With the creative and logistical foundations in place, we are ready to move into production.
Team
At eight, I was burned on a film set while surrounded by unfamiliar men. I learned early that great filmmaking requires both courage and care. I want to create strange, powerful roles for women—and build sets where they can thrive.
