On a typical Friday night, brothers Jordan and Anthony are left home alone. When a strange creature appears, their quiet evening spirals into a terrifying battle for survival and a reckoning with the bond they share.
I wrote this story in the Fall of 2024 with no real intentions of producing it. I began the new year with a vision. A desire to make a story of mine come to life. What was once a hobby to pass the time during the height of COVID quickly became a passion. A passion to tell stories about real queer POC characters in a horror genre.
At a young age, I've always had an interest in the horror genre. As I grew as a creative and understood what the genre could accomplish as a storytelling vehicle, I invested more energy in understanding what made a great horror film. As more "Black Horror" films and series began to be made, I realized there was a gap in repenstation. Majority of stories being told had little to no queer characters and the ones that included them were generic ideas of a queer person.
This is my driving force as a writer.
Advancing in this creative career, I will always highlight and portray realistic queer identities. Repenstation is discussed and sometimes implemented but usually diluted to meet a greater audiences needs. I think it's important to challenge that and tell a great story depicting true identities. My hopes are with this project being greenlit, I am able to inspire more young queer writers to take that chance and make something that means something to them and able to share that with the world.
