Among the victims of the attack were Reagen’s grandparents, whom she abandoned after a fight on the night of the invasion. Seeking retribution, Reagen utilizes Boone’s keen ability to see the creatures, and together they hunt down various portal-like nests that have emerged throughout the area, all while Reagen battles a different kind of monster with her daily addictions. Broken yet tenacious, Reagen must confront the horrors of her past mistakes as she and Boone set out to destroy one more nest hidden somewhere in her grandparent’s home. 🎬 Director’s Statement: The Reclaimers deals with themes of loss, vengeance, and companionship. The initial idea for the screenplay came from walking my dog, Boone, who also happens to star in the film. She was growling at something unseen down a vacant street, and that sparked my imagination for crafting the story. I’ve always been attracted to survival horror, and the idea of characters struggling to find hope in otherwise hopeless situations. So I decided to build the conflict around a character confronting her own personal demons while also battling some very literal ones, in what I hope all culminates into a thrilling, moving journey. 🎞️ Credits: WRITTEN, DIRECTED, AND EDITED BY JASON SHEEDY PRODUCED BY KYLE STEINIKE JASON SHEEDY CAST ERIN OWNBEY BOONE DOG MIKE SHEEDY VICKI SHEEDY WITH THE VOICE TALENT OF GINNY SLIFCAK CINEMATOGRAPHY BY MATTHEW NOONAN PRODUCTION DESIGNER MEAGEN LEE MUSIC COMPOSED BY TESSA ROSE JACKSON DARIUS TIMMER CAMERA ASSISTANT MARK MULLINS VFX ARTISTS RYAN COSTER JASON SHEEDY ANIMATORS ANDREW MICHAEL FARREN GREG BEKKEN SOUND DESIGN BY JASON SHEEDY SOUND MIXED BY JEREMIAH PRESCOTT LOCATION MANAGER LAURIE POOLE CATERER ERIN STRAUSBAUGH PRODUCTION ASSISTANT ROGER RIEKKOFF DRIVER JASON RIGSBEE SPECIAL THANKS MOM, DAD, HEATHER & KATIE ANN AND BOB WITTENBERG GRIFFIN LOTSON CITY OF DARIEN, GEORGIA MCINTOSH COUNTY, GEORGIA KEITH AND CASSIE STRAUSBAUGH SHAWNEY AND DAVID THORPE HART RE-TAIL THRIFT STORE BARK BARK ©2023 HEEBIE-JEEBIES PICTURES Connect with DUST: Website 🌐: http://www.watchdust.com Follow Us on Facebook 👍: https://www.facebook.com/watchdust/ Follow Us on Instagram 📷: https://www.instagram.com/watchdust/ Follow us on TikTok 📱: https://www.tiktok.com/@watch_dust #DUST #scifi #shortfilm Submit Your Short Film: https://filmfreeway.com/alterdustsubmissions NOTE: Only completed shorts will be considered.
