Definitive Re-Release coming SOON!
How deep do family secrets run?
Grief, memory, and the supernatural collide in The Hollow Oak. When a misunderstood young woman named Kayla journeys to a secluded campground to repair a fractured relationship with her mother, she becomes ensnared by the dark local legend of a vengeful witch named Darla. As nightmares bleed directly into her reality, Kayla must confront an ancient, malevolent force tied intimately to her own family’s history before the darkness consumes her completely.

Driven by raw indie grit, creative resourcefulness, and a passion for atmospheric horror, this debut project stands as a vital proof-of-concept that proved our ability to manage, shoot, and deliver a complex feature-length narrative under demanding, real-world conditions.
