HAUNT RESTORER, 19min., Canada
Directed by Wil Andrews
Darla and Eddie are transient siblings who make their living performing supernatural for-hire jobs, with Eddie using his rare gift to communicate with ghosts and restore their connection to the living world. As they travel from town to town, they help spirits reconnect themselves to a cherished place or a loved one before the inevitable pull of moving on takes hold. But when their latest client, Mr. Carr, requests the return of a dead girl to whom he has suspicious and unsettling ties, the siblings realize they may have stepped into something far darker than a routine “recharge” of a restless soul.

Filmed at an undisclosed, shadowy music festival in the heart of Hampshire, the visual journey is a macabre ritual of psychedelic sludge, blending live performance footage with ominous vignettes of slime-coated landscapes, cosmic dread, and unholy rites under the moon.
