Private Project

Residence 906

The mysterious deaths of a paranormal investigator's team force her to confront an enigmatic demon.

Psychic investigator Sam Pelmore visits the grave of her best friend Sarah Washington when Taylor, Sarah’s little sister, approaches her. Taylor reveals to Sam she received her late sister’s camera, saw some disturbing footage on it, and wants Sam to see it too. Taylor visits Sam at her office where they view the footage together. The footage reveals Sarah being killed by an unseen force. Taylor tells Sam she is going to Residence 906, where Sarah and the rest of Sam’s paranormal team were killed. Taylor leaves the office not heeding Sam’s warning of the house. That night, Sam hears the voices of her paranormal team blaming her for their deaths. Sam decides to accompany Taylor to the house. Sam and Taylor walk through the house and Sam shows Taylor where each member of the team died: Bailey drowned in a bathtub, Laura fell down the stairs, and Sarah strangled herself with her camera strap. When night falls, Taylor and Sam go over the history of Residence 906. Sam discloses that a former worker found human and animal bones in the house, a dead body buried in the walls, and bloodstains all over the house. Taylor falls asleep and Sam senses a presence in the house and wanders off. She senses the same spirit the night her team was killed and notices it goes after Taylor. Her EMF detector awakens Taylor. As the night wears on, Taylor becomes agitated over not figuring out what killed her sister and runs off. Trapped in a room, Taylor becomes influenced by the same sinister presence and begins strangling herself with the same camera strap Sarah died from. Sam finally decides to do battle with the spirit. She summons her courage and psychic powers as the demon also strengthens itself. The demon tries to overpower Sam by recalling all her friend’s deaths and blaming her for their deaths. Sam retaliates by recalling some good memories of her and her friends, like their last Halloween get together where Sarah dressed as a ghost. Sam feels free of the guilt of her team’s death and defeats the demon. The following morning, Taylor wakes up and leaves the room. Sam is nowhere to be seen as Taylor finds the crystal necklace Sam always wore.

Inspired by a nomadic past, I aim to make films that reflect the human condition. Someone once told me to turn everything ugly in my life into something beautiful.
