We’re so stoked that we can finally show everyone The Legend of Judge Castle. It was tough, but we managed to write, film, edit and score the entire thing in less than 48 hours!

It’s funny that it was halfway through the day of filming that we didn’t have any idea as to what The Judge would look like! Luckily, with a quick trip to the corner store, we were able to find a really cool mask. Andrew really gave The Judge a creepy, intimidating flair.

And now the 48 Hour Film Project, Toronto is over, we can finally share what we created. Head to our YouTube channel to watch our new short horror film, “The Legend of Judge Castle”!

We're happy to announce that we're participating in this year's 48 Hour Film Project!

On October 14th we, along with countless other filmmakers, will gather and each be assigned a genre (let's hope we get horror🤞), along with a prop, character, and line of dialogue that needs to be included in the short film. Then, we have just 48 sleepless, frantic hours to write, film, edit and submit our own short film! The winners can then go on to participate in further competitions (although we just want to see our work on R***e Cinema’s big screen)!

So stay tuned to see what we're able to put together in just 48 hours!

"More than 80% of bathroom-related injuries were caused by slips and falls, mostly while getting in and out of the tub or shower..."

- The Center for Disease Control and Prevention

Everyone knows that the bathroom is the most dangerous room in the house, but what happens when the unthinkable occurs when you're home alone, in the shower, with no one around to help?

Stairwell Films is proud to present our third short horror film, 80%; a grim peek into urgency, hopelessness and bad luck.
