The Distorting Mirror

Happy and excited to let y'all know I was selected for the inaugural Film Impact Georgia feature lab for my horror script LACRUM.

About a troubled transfer student who awakes in her new high school to find she and select other students have been trapped in the school by a devious being known as Kari. They must play and beat Kari’s games before midnight in order to uncover the truth behind their sinister situation and make it out in one piece.

The development lab will take place in a cabin in the blue ridge mountains, where the writers will be mentored and supported by experienced producers to make their project a reality. I'm super excited for this opportunity and can't wait to take these lessons in LACRUM and of course the film we're developing right now into our debut feature, OTHERMOR!

Today, we're announcing the first step in the journey to our DEBUT feature film, a Scifi/Horror/Thriller provisionally titled OTHERMOR, and the team of producers that will bring this film to life. We couldn't be more excited about this group! JOINING The Distorting Mirror's Justin Solaiman and Hudson King (pictured bottom row), in clockwise order:
