Phenom Entertainment’s first project is the short film entitled, “Us the Damned and God Himself.”
UTD, as we affectionately call it, is expected to run just under 30 minutes. It’s a throwback to the old anthology series of yesteryear like “Twilight Zone” and “Alfred Hitchcock Presents.” While there’s no supernatural or alien element as was found frequently in Rod Serling’s classic TV masterpieces, the film emphasizes a well-crafted story and solid performances over flashy special effects (although we do have a couple of those, too).
UTD is a “who-dun-it” with a tightly wound, ticking clock element driven by an emotional film-noir score and ever-so-slightly heightened visuals. Twists and turns abound as the truth is slowly revealed, leading to a powerfully dramatic resolution. Don’t worry, we’re not going to spoil it for you! You’ve got to see it for yourself!
