After an accident, a newly blind recent college grad moves home to the small coastal town where she grew up. But she starts to suspect that things are deeply wrong when she finds out that people have started walking into the ocean and never coming back.
An audio drama pilot, built around the suspense of what we can and cannot see. Comps: ‘Ad Lucem’, ‘Twin Peaks’.
BEHIND THE MOON Adventure Tragicomedy (Feature)

FILLING UP HELL Drama / Thriller (Pilot)
A young, traumatised nurse begins to take justice into her own hands by killing patients rather than saving them.
