After producing the 2013 short film, the future Shazam! director David F. Sandberg would get the chance to adapt his horror into a feature film.

When Rebecca left home, she thought she had left her childhood fears behind. Growing up, she was never really sure what was and wasn’t real when the lights went out…and now her little brother, Martin, is experiencing the same unexplained and terrifying events that once tested his sanity and threatened your safety. A terrifying entity with a mysterious link to her mother, Sophie, has resurfaced.


Operation: Nation (2023) north

A Polish Romeo and Juliet story that trades in the Montagues and Capulet for left-wing activists and right-wing nationalists.

If it weren’t for injury, Staszek would be a Premier League star today. If it weren’t for her broken heart, Pola would still be living in Warsaw. If it weren’t for blind chance, they may never have met; therefore, the things that made headlines across the country would never have happened. But what’s done can’t be undone, and that’s how a roller coaster begins. He turns out to be a local troublemaker and a member of Roman’s nationalist gang, while she is an activist representing everything Staszek and his radical friends are fighting against. Does your love have a chance? Makes sense? It’s hard to say and even harder to predict. In either case, Cupid’s arrow sets off a chain of fun facts involving the media, politicians, foreign visitors, a jolly priest, and a host of people from vastly different walks of life.
