bearing the dead

When a rookie death investigator discovers the corpse in her care gasping for air, her attempt to save the woman unleashes a nightmare that forces her to choose between her partner’s life and her own.

FILMING OCTOBER

At this point, the size of our stunt team is becoming its own spoiler.

Welcome to the team @popestunts

Diego Pope // Stunt Rigger

@felled_oak founded Film in Vermont, which is apparently one way to end up spending 3 nights taking photos of us making a movie in the woods.

Brian Carroll // Unit Still & Behind-the-Scenes Photographer

One trip to Poorhouse Pies somehow became 1 new friend, 2 crew positions, and several nights in the woods.

Sorry, @threepeaksmedia

Sam Davies // Grip #7

@jamesgonzalezstunts has made a career out of “don’t try this at home.”

So naturally, we invited him to ours.

James Gonzalez // Stunt Rigger

Googling 70% of our props probably puts you on some kind of list.

RIP @caitrinwalsh ‘s search history.

Caitrin Walsh // Art Director

@samogdenstunts is what happens when “down to clown” becomes a technical qualification. Within minutes of meeting, he was happily getting yeeted across a room.

Sam Ogden // Stunt Rigger

DON’T ASK THIS MAN ABOUT GHOSTS.

WE’RE SERIOUS. DON’T.

Parker Croft // Location Manager

We met @vincivisuals on a music video shoot and within 30 minutes he was plugging us into the Vermont film scene.

He’s a terrible gatekeeper but a great grip.

Matt Vinci // Key Grip

@chrisblim came to Vermont for a literal vacation but actually spent it knocking out art department side quests, including one teeeeeny tiny infrastructure upgrade that was mutually beneficial, your honor.

Chris Blim // Art Department

@astansmakeup has already tested one of the movie’s more upsetting ideas on Nolan.

The photos are staying in the group chat…for now.

Ashley Stansbury // Makeup Department Head

Plenty of things in this movie will be hard to look at.

Thanks to @liamocg none of them will be hard to see.

Liam O’Connor-Genereaux // First Assistant Camera

Thank god @camden_wikler agreed to work with us again because he’s the only one who knows anything about cars.

Several days wielding a heat gun later, our busted craigslist van is finally picture-ready.

Camden Wikler // Production Designer

After two scrappy lil films together, we’ve learned to always leave a seat open for @abbienormal9

Luckily our busted craiglist van came with a seat that had her name on it and there’s no one else we’d rather have on this ride.

A

@olegolden has had his car robbed twice while making movies and has never once let it dampen the vibes.

Luckily, his car gets to stay home this time. And we’re even luckier that one of our oldest collaborators and best friends is coming to Ver

The fact that we need @iamjusticehedenberg is the only spoiler you’re getting…for now.

Justice Hedenberg // Stunt Coordinator

@mimolken has spent the last five years running sets across New England.

We’re very happy one of them is about to be ours.

Miriam Olken // 1st AD

Backwoods networking looks like Parker and @brandon.stcyr meeting over $2 beers at Robbie’s Wildlife Refuge. Thank god.

Brandon St. Cyr // VFX Supervisor

One day you’re flying fighter jets and the next you’re flying to the middle of nowhere to make a movie.

If you’re @push_ur_limits, anyway.

Sean B Garick // Cast

Most people come to Vermont in October to look at leaves.

@jordinary.xo is coming from Atlanta to have a very different kind of fall weekend.

Jordan Salmon // Cast

We’re turning the backwoods into our own backlot.

Conveniently, our associate producer and gaffer @fishermichaelb already lives here.

Michael B. Fisher // Associate Producer, Gaffer
