American Gothic

2023 · 12 min

A disorienting, slow-burn plunge into fractured memory and identity that keeps you uneasy and questioning what is real.

Tagline
If we disagree, promise to never disappear
Overview
Twins known as brother and sister question the validity of their identities and the permanence of memory after they revisit their childhood home, when their reminiscences over their past and the traumatic fate of their screenwriter father don’t align with a reel of home film they find in this mind bending Bomar Brothers horror film.
