A bold deconstruction of the classic witch mythos, the film is set in an alternate reality where witches are very real – and the night of the first harvest is when harmless traditional rituals are performed to placate witches in the sky.
For three brothers in the American Southwest, this year’s event will be different. When they discover their friend has killed and buried a witch, they venture out into the desert to witness it for themselves. Whilst encountering the scene, they accidentally desecrate the body, setting in motion a sequence of perilous events.
The only way they can put a stop to the curse set upon their family is to burn the corpse before sunrise.

Starring Rene Leech, Shaun Duke Jr., Andrew Gabriel, Diane Worman, and Greg Poppa, the film World Premiered on the Piazza Grande at the Locarno Film Festival and went on to screen at Fantastic Fest, Calgary Underground, Splat! Film Fest, and more.
