The It's Only a Movie - Short Horror Film Festival is this weekend! 

A condensed version of one of the segments of last year's big film, Sleep Study, is playing.  It isn't the final version of the film, and it isn't the official premiere!  We'll for sure have one of those later this school year with the "Pluto" segment in its finalized form along with the entire Sleep Study anthology film, and it is sure to be a rad event.

But is is always fun to support and be a part of small, local film festivals!  And we're honored they'll be showing this small segment of Sleep Study.

I want to thank everybody, EVERYBODY who helped make this movie!  It takes an army. 

SLEEP STUDY: PLUTO THE TOY PROTECTOR's festival cut will be screening at It's Only a Movie Friday (10/28/22) night along with a bunch of other really cool, locally made horror shorts!!!!

Get info and tickets here!!!  I'm so excited!

Here's a short description o' the movie:

"A teenager who claims his teddy bear talks to him is placed in a sleep study facility to get help, only the facility may not be as benign as it appears."

Together Forever - Directed by Kass McLaws, Produced by Mikah Tupua

The Dreamer - Directed by Cayden Miller, Produced by Alivia Smith

Enveloped in Fog - Directed by Ben Hampton, Produced by Finn Hodges

Where: Kaysville Theatre, 21 N Main St, Kaysville, UT 84037

*To keep things safe, masks are required for this event (unless you have a medical reason not to wear one).

All are invited - all students who attend EHHS, those who worked on the films, their friends, their family, any guest they'd like to bring. 

Feel free to dress up for a red carpet event if you want.  Or don't, it is not required.  We are just excited to have a bunch of fun!!!!
