Black Mold
Directed by John Pata
Produced by The Line Film Company, Head Trauma Productions
A psychological horror-thriller that uses an abandoned building and a mysterious squatter to excavate a photographer's buried trauma, blending atmospheric dread with introspective grief.
Photographers Brooke Konrad and Tanner Behlman travel to rural, abandoned buildings to capture the inherent beauty of long-forgotten locations, but far from forgotten are the traumatic memories that surface in Brooke when they meet The Man Upstairs, an unsuspecting squatter. As tensions and uncertainties arise, Brooke must determine if this mysterious stranger will provide her the closure she so desperately seeks or let the fears of the past consume her.
