⭐ FERAL FRIDAY SHORT FILM HIGHLIGHT ⭐

"The Damned Thing"

Directed by: Maya Haston

Based on the original 19th-century horror short story, The Damned Thing, comes a modern found-footage spin on the classic tale...

After the violent and unexplainable death of his friend during a remote hunting trip, William Harker - An African American Man- becomes the sole witness and prime suspect, forced to recount an encounter with an invisible predator in this. As he faces growing suspicions and racial bias, the question looms: Is he a traumatized survivor? Or did he do it…?
