Sony Pictures’ genre label Screen Gems is launching the new “Scream Gems” initiative with Blink at SXSW this month, the first original short film as part of the “Scream Gems” project.
Blink will premiere at SXSW on March 13, available exclusively on YouTube the next day.
“After being violently pushed from a window, Mary wakes up in the hospital, almost completely paralyzed. Trapped inside the prison of her own body, Mary’s only way to communicate is by blinking her eyes. She tries to warn the nurse that a sinister, inhuman force is trying to kill her.
“But when strange things begin happening around her, she realizes it may be too late to stop it.”
From Screen Gems and Ground Control, the horror film lab “Scream Gems” focuses on the development and production of horror genre proof-of-concepts and aims to collaborate with up-and-coming filmmakers to produce horror shorts with the primary goal of developing new, original content into feature films.
Blink was directed by Spenser Cohen, written by Cohen and Anna Halberg.
Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets”) stars alongside Alicia Coppola and Scot Nery.
Watch the Blink trailer below and expect the full short on March 13.
