Heather Langenkamp makes her directorial debut with a short film about life and death. After a career in slasher horror films (Nightmare on Elm Street), Heather Langenkamp is interested in bringing stories of humanity and emotional struggle to the screen - stories that are rooted in the intense love people have for each other. Langenkamp also wrote the screenplay for this film where life and death meet on a beach in Malibu.
As an actress with a long career in horror films and the owner of a Special FX Make-Up Studio that brings horror to life, I am compelled to contemplate the flip side of horror- the real aftermath of tragedy and the emotions of sudden loss. In honor of my son, Atticus, who died in 2018 of brain cancer at the age of 26, I wanted to make a film to honor the unbreakable bonds of love with an ever so slight nod to the horror genre that I know so well.
