ROOM SIX is the story of Maxx, a college student, who is working the night shift at a vacant, rundown motel before the late night arrival of two brothers. After a few suspicious incidents, Maxx’s curiosity (or paranoia) gets the best of her and she decides to investigate the situation. Maxx quickly finds herself in danger as she uncovers what lies hidden in the brothers’ room.
After nearly three years of consistent work and attention dedicated towards developing, financing and bringing this film to life, we feel incredibly lucky as independent, first-time filmmakers to have the opportunity to premiere ROOM SIX. As the Owners & Operators of VINCO Creative, a Production Company from Chicago, we create artist-driven content that seeks to highlight the brilliant art community within the city. We wrote, produced, directed, and edited this story alongside a local cast and crew of tremendously talented collaborators and we couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to showcase all of the hard work and energy poured into this film.
