Experiencing Interruptions?

Hey Neighbor!

Hey Neighbor is a short horror film focusing on community…in a sense. It provides security as the backdrop for late-night curiosity and nosiness. This brief yet intense encounter with wonder, adventure, and discovery gives the term ‘Neighborhood Watch’ a whole new possible interpretation.

In a small, residential community, a concerned resident hears an odd sound during the wee hours of the night and goes to see what it could be. Perhaps a stray cat searching for food? A drunken neighbor trying to make it into their home after fully indulging in ‘Happy Hour’ with their co-workers? Or a homeless person collecting recyclables? Let’s find out.

Sound heard. Adventure completed. Nothing to report.

Déjà vu? Maybe…maybe not.
After detecting another weird sound, the concerned resident takes another trip through familiar territory to discover the initial catalyst for her outing…and, well, needless to say, this resident’s level of concern cost her far more than she bargained for.

Director Biography - Tanya O'Quinn

Tanya O’Quinn is a gifted writer whose imagination knows no bounds. At the suggestion of a co-worker, she delved into screenwriting. No formal education; no books read; just a strong desire to tell stories. Soon, the passionate and ‘imaginatively submissive’ writer found herself penning forty pages in one day! She writes ‘what she sees’ and has recently discovered her passion for directing those ‘visions’. Tanya made her ‘directorial debut’ in The Cough (A Covid-19 Comedy) and went on to do the same as Writer/Director in Browsing History, The Drug Deal (A Covid-19 Comedy) and The Store (A Covid-19 Comedy). Currently, in pre-production, is The Raid (A Covid-19 Comedy). Since her writing career began, she’s written over ten full-length features and twelve short films.
