We're so excited to finally share this teaser with you (the film will debut at the end of the month)!

Conceived and shot over the summer of 2022, DRY DROWNING is a short psychological thriller set on the shores of the Outer Banks. A creative collaboration between Mike Powell and Cassandra Clare (who also stars), the award-winning film has been touring festivals in 2023 - most recently at DC Shorts International Film Festival - and will release online this Thanksgiving weekend.

"I’m tremendously proud to share this film. So much love went into the entire process and I couldn’t be more grateful for such an inspiring creative team."
- Cassandra Clare

"Reuniting with the team to make the climax of this film (our first since Covid) was a beautiful and challenging experience - my hope is that viewers will feel the same after watching it, so I'm excited to finally share it."
- Mike Powell

Halloween is a special holiday for filmmaking, and it's often provided a creative jolt here at Mirandum over the years. This year that inspiration arrives in two different flavors.

We are excited to present an experimental short film that Mike directed and Jacob Schwartz shot in a previous October, an adaptation of a quietly reflective, Halloween-themed poem by the NY-based writer Jess Linnett (https://www.jessicalinnett.com/new-gallery/). First in a planned series, now showing: Little Ghosts - vimeo.com/370168034

We're also excited to announce that we just wrapped principal photography this week on an ambitious Halloween short film of the fun and scary variety. Assembling a dynamite cast from across the country and bringing in the Hollywood blockbuster VFX team at Digicore, this film - directed by Colin J. Mason, lensed by Jacqui Ris- was an absolute blast to shoot and we can't wait to share it.

We love it when our work connects with people, particularly those who are so passionate about making the world a better place!

Look where we are! Filmapalooza 2019!!

Filmapalooza is the finale festival for the 48 Hour Film Project in which the winning films from cities worldwide (150 cities as of 2018) are screened the following year and compete with each other for awards. It has existed since 2003. Filmapalooza is hosted by a different city each year and this year it's in Orlando, Florida.

Our 48-hour film 'Black Box' was a huge success and won us the "Best Film" award (among others) for Washington, D.C., and has placed us among the 150 cities that compete worldwide for elite status in this festival (and the opportunity to go to Cannes).

We're all happy to be here and hopeful that the awards continue rolling in (of course). This is such a big, big deal for us! Sad that the rest of the crew on set couldn't make it, but you all are in our thoughts and the film wouldn't be what it is without each and every one of you!

We'll keep you updated!
