About the job
I’m developing a contained, atmospheric short film intended as a proof-of-concept for a larger narrative world. This is not a teaser and not a pitch-only project — it’s a fully realized short with a clear beginning, middle, and end, designed to stand on its own while hinting at something bigger. Tone & Genre: • Psychological horror / supernatural thriller • Grounded, character-driven • Minimal exposition, heavy atmosphere Scope: • 1 primary location (remote wooded area, Northern NJ) • Small cast (2–3 characters) • Practical filmmaking first, with restraint on effects • Emphasis on tension, performance, and visual storytelling What I’m looking for: • Director / DP • Cinematographer • Sound designer • Editor • Actors interested in moody, psychological material This is a collaborative project, ideal for creatives looking to build a strong portfolio piece or festival-ready short. I’m handling story, structure, and production coordination. I’ll include a location image below to give a sense of the atmosphere we’re working with. If this resonates with you, feel free to comment or DM — happy to share more details. — MewtationStudiosNJ
