The BeckoningIn a strange night, four passengers get stuck in a bus trip during an endless night.
Synopsis
A philosophy student gets her logic defied during an obscure bus trip when she, and the other four passengers, get stuck in an endless night, surrounded by nothing but darkness. Writers Statement
We are two writers based in a small village in the south of Portugal, who decided to write a Cosmic Horror that could present a new perspective about Life and Existence. The Beckoning came from the need to experiment with a different type of Horror, a subgenre slightly different from Cosmic Horror. The idea occurred during a conversation, in an esplanade while drinking coffee with milk, and eating toasts. The screenplay was born from a mix of two different events. Loïc's night bus trip, and a bizarre journey I had while driving in the mountains, in Portugal. This is a Cosmic Horror short-film written with the intention to promote the long version and make it into a feature film, with more sets and a higher budget. In our long version, the characters end up in a different place and get out of that bus. We wanted to start with making a short film that would be simple to produce, with a small cast, minor CGI and a bus, and a story that could be shot anywhere in the world. We wanted to create an unconventional type of Horror. Where there's a strange fear of the non-existence. Links
