  Fledgling Logline

  When a young orphan girl is turned by a vampire couple on the fringe of a small Missouri town, they're forced to find a new home and raise the family none of them expected. The trio are soon pursued by a private investigator hired by a shadowy organization growing closer in the rearview mirror that threatens everything they've worked towards. 

  Runtime: 10 minutes

  
  

  A Void Logline

  In the wake of an unspeakable tragedy, a husband and wife seek to fill the void that has formed in their lives. He seeks refuge in memory, she seeks refuge in science. When a new breakthrough happens at her laboratory, the lines between the two cease to exist.

  Runtime: 44 minutes
