U.S. Feature Film, 1 hour 35 minutes, Texas Premiere

Nominee: Best U.S. Feature Film

Synopsis:

The leaves have started to change, but Professor Jonathan Rust is still woefully ill-prepared for the coming semester. With the help of a fellow professor, his teaching assistant, an old friend and a hired laborer, the team searches for a suitable dig site for the archeology department’s field work course. The trip presents a rare opportunity for Jonathan to get his hands dirty and success could mean publication and just maybe - tenure. The expedition is quickly derailed when a member of the team mysteriously vanishes. Soon, the group finds themselves at the intersection of reality and the afterlife in this harrowing descent into madness.

I would like to close by breaking the third person act to add that I also enjoy cycling, cats and pizza. Please reach out if I can help your festival or film.
