Synopsis: A high school senior prom couple sneak off after the prom to a secluded spot in the woods, near a swamp. The boy tries to pressure the girl into sex, but she refuses and he dumps her, stranding her there in the dark. She ends up falling into quicksand. She does not panic, and tries everything she can think of to slow her decent. Her efforts prove beneficial, as she is rescued in the nick of time by another couple, who just happened to be in the same area for similar reasons. If she had not been successful in slowing her descent, then the rescuing couple would have been too late.
The Demon in the Sandbox
Current Stage: Post-Production
Filming took place in early November 2007
A mother and two daughters are struggling to make ends meet in a lonely trailer on the outskirts of town. The youngest daughter, only 6, plays endlessly with her dolls by a sandbox, living in her dream world and constantly picked on by her older, teenage sibling—until the day when a new doll pokes its head up from the sandbox. This new doll tells the youngest daughter stories, and how she should get rid of her mean family. So, the next time the older daughter steps into the sandbox to scold her younger sibling, a surprise will be awaiting—a quick, wet surprise.

Current Stage: Post-Production
Filming took place in April 2008
Synopsis: Five teenage girls and their two leaders--part of a church youth group--are on their way to a birthday party when their van mysteriously breaks down in a deserted section of town, populated by empty, run-down factory buildings. One of the girls heads off with the group leader to walk to a nearby gas station. As the remainder of the group waits in the dead van, a stranger walks up--a stranger in a mask carrying a knife. These girls manage to run from the van to the nearby factory, in the hope of finding someone there who can help them. Instead, what they find is an empty, dark building, with one determined killer right behind them.
Quicksand Horrorscope
Current Stage: Pre-Production
Target date for filming: Summer 2008
Synopsis: An "outer limits", spooky video, where a woman, who is an avid reader and follower of the local newspaper’s horoscope, reads one day that she will "soon fall into quicksand." Now, she finds this one hard to believe, and, when checking other copies of the same newspaper, finds that only her own copy has these words. Over the following days, she starts to have dreams where she's fallen into quicksand, or she's stuck somewhere and can't seem to escape. Then, toward the end of the week, her car breaks down on the way to an open house (she's a real estate agent) in a rural, swampy area of town she's not familiar with. I suspect you can guess what happens next when she goes for help.
Desecrated

The guys arrived three days earlier, and during one night of drunken stupor, desecrate an ancient Abenaki holy site. Their act raises an ancient, vengeful spirit. Only one escapes to meet up with the gals, in the hope of rescue--but the creature follows and will not rest until all who desecrated the holy site has died--and it will not let anyone stands in its way.

On a hunting trip in a nearby swamp, he literally falls into the solution to his problem. Luckily, his hunting partner was there to rescue him.
