Calder

Katherine Myong - 2022

Calder and his father come across something sinister in the woods. His father is more than he seems.

I imagined this as the beginning of a feature film, setting up the backdrop and main character's history as well as introducing a key mystery of the plot. The title card would come up after this sequence, and then the movie's central plot would begin!
