KSHAMENK – A Survival Thriller with Heart, Water, and a Monster That Remembers

Two young women sneak into an abandoned marine park for one last night of mischief and nostalgia.

They don’t realize the orca still trapped inside hasn’t eaten in days — and it never forgot what humans did to it.

KSHAMENK is a 23-scene contained survival thriller set in a decaying aquatic world filled with silence, echoes, and rising fear.

The story explores guilt, trauma, and the instinct to survive when the walls close in and water rises.

Think The Shallows meets Prey, but instead of a shark or alien… it’s a starving, intelligent orca — with a past.

• One location

• Two main characters

• One unforgettable antagonist

Built for a tight budget but a big impact.

Perfectly suited for a global platform like Netflix.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Kshamenk sounds thrilling, Meera Al Ali! It's a unique Survival Thriller in a unique location.

I like that the story isn't just about survival.

"A Survival Thriller with heart, water, and a monster that remembers" is catchy. I think you should put it in your pitch.

I'm looking forward to watching this!
