DOOMER is a horror-comedy short film about the generational divide and how it turns family dynamics into a true nightmare.
The film is currently in pre-production, and we have begun a round of funding to support production.
About DOOMER
Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t? Three millennials enjoy a night in when an apparent home invasion makes the stakes personal. Sometimes it’s the people we know best that cut us the worst!
DOOMER was born out of a simple observation: we’ve become so divided that even the most ordinary conversations can feel like battlegrounds.
As millennials, we’ve inherited a world full of conflicting expectations. We’re constantly told how to live, what to believe, and who’s responsible for everything that’s gone wrong. Somewhere along the way, we’ve seemingly lost the ability to listen to one another.
With DOOMER, I wanted to explore those frustrations through dark comedy, taking familiar generational conflicts and pushing them to increasingly absurd extremes. Through Jess, Alex, and Sam, we experience the struggle of navigating a world where everyone believes they’re right, even as everything around them falls apart.
But this isn’t a story about good guys and bad guys. Every character has their own perspective, motivations, and shortcomings. The humor comes from watching those perspectives collide, often at the worst possible moments.
Ultimately, DOOMER isn’t about choosing sides. It’s about holding up a mirror to our increasingly divided society and, hopefully, finding something to laugh about in the process.
