“Nightmare” — A Psychological Thriller

Nightmare is a suspenseful short film that follows Dr. Sieck, a troubled psychiatrist fast-tracking experimental drug trials under pressure from a seductive pharmaceutical rep. At the center of the trial is Violet, Patient 413, a young woman battling hallucinations, trauma, and sedation, locked away in the doctor’s private attic under increasingly unethical conditions.

As Dr. Sieck ramps up doses of the experimental drug Chloroquel, the line between control and chaos begins to blur. But Violet is far from helpless—and what begins as a psychological breakdown becomes a gripping showdown between predator and prey.

This is a dark, twisting tale of medical manipulation, drug experimentation, and the terrifying resilience of the human mind.

This is a true passion project for me and for the entire cast and crew. We’re fully committed to bringing Nightmare to life and submitting it to film festivals by the end of this year. We’ve built a tight production plan, with four full days of filming scheduled, this is where the bulk of our budget will go. Post-production will be less costly but will take a couple of months to complete.

Filming begins with Phase One on August 6th and 7th, with Phase Two to follow shortly after (dates still being finalized). We’re all incredibly excited to get underway and can’t wait to share the final result with you.

Your support means the world to us. Every contribution, big or small, helps make this vision a reality. I’m deeply honored and truly humbled by your generosity.
