Past event

This surreal horror thriller blends retro analogue aesthetics with a twisted tale of obsession, murder and electronic keyboards. 

In a 1980s Midwestern post office, a bloodstained letter arrives with a desperate plea for help from someone claiming to be kidnapped but without any clear address. The mysterious letter catches the eye of Jasper, a ‘dead mail’ expert, who begins trying to trace the source. But someone else is trying to hunt down the letter, determined to keep his dark secret hidden and recover the letter at any cost.

"A reinvention of the ‘80s aesthetic, a deft genre blend, and intimate empathy afforded to all of its unique characters make this retro form experiment a fascinating watch." - Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting
