8 FOUND DEAD: "Stuck in a pandemic, Travis Greene and Jonathan Buchanan stumbled upon the story of 8 FOUND DEAD while spitballing ideas at their local coffee shop.
Using several real-life characters and situations from Travis' life, Jonathan crafted a story around the inherent drama of being held hostage by conversation, a cue taken from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966) - which, along with Death Trap (1982), Funny Games (2007) and The Strangers (2008) served as inspiration for the filmmakers.
The next step was choosing a cinematographer. and the obvious choice was their friend Ryan Valdez. His unique style had always stood out and seemed perfect for 8 FOUND DEAD."
Synopsis:
"Two couples drive to a secluded house in the desert for a weekend getaway, each with their own baggage, expectations and secrets. Upon their arrival, they are met by two strangers, claiming to have rented the house as well.
What starts out as a “simple misunderstanding” ends in an all-night bloodbath.
Told in 4 parts, with a shuffled timeline, 8 FOUND DEAD is less of a “whodunit?” and more of a “who the hell survies?”.

Generating a plethora of buzz is "The Barn 2", the Justin Seaman directed sequel which has picked up various awards at film festivals this year, including Best Horror Feature at Nightmares Film Festival and Requiem Film Festival, and nominations for Best Horror Feature at GenreBlast, NJ Horror Con, Popcorn Frights and Days Of The Dead.
