Private Project

Union House Hotel - Season 1

Circa 1890, the wealthy Cortez family has been the most talked-about item in Les Meres, a remote Midwestern town. After years running the most popular hotel in the valley, a series of events and characters will reshape this iconic location. These are the 3 episodes of Season 1. Season 2 will release as of September 2024.

Prior to April 1, 2024, episode 1 was the only one competing in fests. As of April, through September 2024, all-three episodes are in for consideration in the fest circuit for the series' season as a whole.
