I’m excited to share that my 4.5-minute found-footage comedy short, OMG, You’re, Like, Totally Haunted!, has been officially selected by the Austin Micro Film Festival!
The festival screens at Southwest Theatres Lake Creek 7 in Austin, and this marks the film’s second festival selection, following its earlier recognition at Indie Short Fest in Los Angeles.
The short follows a shy man who moves into a new apartment and begins documenting what he believes is paranormal activity — creaking doors, cold spots, faint giggles — only to discover he may be sharing the space with the ghost of a seventeen-year-old valley girl who gradually starts influencing his personality in increasingly pink and pumpkin-spice directions.
The film was shot on a $90
camera and leans into the sincerity of found-footage horror before slowly
unraveling into absurd character comedy. What started as a small creative
experiment has now resonated with two separate festival programming teams — which
is a reminder that algorithms and curators don’t always respond to the same
signals.
While the short has had
modest traction online, I’m grateful to see it finding life in theatrical
settings and festival programs.
