Sleep Tight
Preston’s adoptive parents Daniel and Kate think that he is just going through a phase, but Kate fears it may be more because of Preston’s haunted past. Are the monsters in Preston’s closet his past coming back to haunt him? Or is it just another kid with an over active imagination? One thing is for sure, its going to be a night everyone will remember…

Most Terrifying
Growing up in a small town in Maryland, I did the usual small town activities - played sports and hung out with friends. But, what I dreamed about was making movies. I have always had a love for the horror/thriller genres. Waiting for my parents to go to bed and then sneaking downstairs to watch horror movies is my favorite memory that I shared with my brother. The scarier that better - even if it meant that neither of us got any sleep that night.
After college, I quickly figured out the 9-5 world wasn’t for me. I packed up my car and headed to Los Angeles! No job, no network or connects - just a dream and a strong work ethic. I started as a PA and worked almost every department. I ended up in the Assistant Director world and have made a career of it for the past couple years. Though it’s an awesome job, I felt something was missing and wanted a chance to express more of my creativity. After saving and planning for months, I was able to make my dream come true - my Directorial Debut short film Sleep Tight. I shot this film in hopes of it leading to a feature film. So keep your eyes peeled during Sleep Tight to see if you discover the hidden practical and lighting effects.
