Hi Creatives! Welcome to the world of It Lies Within. We are a group of senior film production majors at Rider University, currently producing a short film for our Senior Thesis filmmaking course.

It Lies Within explores a high school teen, Ellie, with abandonment issues, who must relive her past and unlock her repressed memories when her brother is found dead, in order to uncover the truth.

The film is a psychological thriller of our team's creation with themes of abandonment, responsibility, and identity. We have been pushing to bring our vision to life. Our team includes:

Director and Writer: Alexander Falcone

Producer and Assistant Director: Emily O’Connor

Production Coordinator: Michael Deem Jr.

Cinematographer and Writer: Milo Savoia

Production Design: Meg B. Vogel

Chief Lighting Technician and Writer: Elena V. Khositashvili

At this moment in time, we are seeking donations to help fund the project for expenses such as talent, set design, location, craft services, and travel fees. Your support will help us bring our story from the page to the screen!

We'll be providing regular updates on the project both here and on our Instagram, @itlieswithinfilm. Stay tuned, and thank you for the support!
