Homebody Pictures is excited to announce our next film, THE THAW!

THE THAW is a 13-minute horror folktale that depicts the anxiety of surviving harsh weather conditions and the results of man’s insatiable hunger for resources. In 19th century Vermont, Ruth and her aging parents struggle to subsist on a failing farm after the departure of her unfaithful husband. They turn to an old remedy: a potion that allows the elderly and infirm to sleep through the hard winter months in a state of frozen animation, to be awoken refreshed in Spring. But when a storm blows in an early thaw, the sleepers wake too soon - to horrifying results…

THE THAW is currently in pre-production and we are aiming to film in Vermont during February 2020. We have cast our lead actress, Emily Bennett, an Award-Winning Actress known for her work on NBC’s “The Blacklist”, “Chicago Fire”, “Chicago PD” and “Chicago Justice." Her brilliant short film, LVRS, is currently on the festival circuit and won Best Director at the Horrible Imaginings Film Festival.

Earlier this month THE THAW's screenplay moved on to the quarter-finals for the Fall 2019 ScreenCraft Film Fund. Look for THE THAW's Seed and Spark campaign in mid-December!
