Infernalis
In a remote 19th-century pioneer village, suspicion spreads when a newborn vanishes under mysterious circumstances. As tensions rise, the townspeople turn their scrutiny toward the local midwife—an outsider whose knowledge runs deeper than they realize. Secrets, superstition, and fear collide in a haunting tale of isolation and accusation.

Naomi Wildermuth started her film career in 2016 when she left Cincinnati Christian University to pursue a two year film program in Dayton Ohio. She often states “Cinema was my Salvation to the world.” Being raised in a small Christian community; it was often hard to find creative outlets, and film was always there to express all forms of the human experience. It is for this reason she enjoys the collaborative process of filmmaking and working with other artists to tell stories that inspire others.
