Pathum hears the tale of a hoofed-demon that acts as protector of the forest. His skepticism is tested as eerie occurrences happen and he begins to question - is the Kura Raaksha merely folklore or something very real?

Our fellow filmmakers over Papillon Corner have finally released PART 1 of 4 from their highly anticipated film TRITON! We've been waiting for this sci-fi flick for the past 4 years and it's a joy seeing this finally released. A project 7 years in the making, this painstaking effort by Ashan Amarasinghe and team deserves a round of applause for pulling off what they did with a frugal budget and skeletal crew.
Please go watch it, stepping stones with genre films like this are what will elevate filmmaking here in the country. To all at Papillon Corner , we are waiting for part 2!

Triton centers around two regular friends who must scramble to safety along with others on their way, after a devastating extraterrestrial attack on their ho...

TEDDY is a film that took 3 months to complete from concept to final product, the fastest short film we've ever done. However, the release got pushed back due to reasons beyond our control and we know there was a lot of you waiting to watch this movie. 8 months later, here we are, the film is out to public. While we hope that you enjoy this film, we also hope that it brings some awareness to the issues of countless other women like Vihara who are suffering silently. We hope this film speaks for them.
It was truly a delight to work with Yureni Noshika on this project and we are so grateful to her for choosing us to bring her idea to life

HSJ on NewsFirst | 15-03-2023

A film is something that takes an army of people to get off the ground and create it into what you end up seeing. And we couldn't be more grateful for the amazing team of talented individuals who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring this project to life. While only our director Akash and cinematographer Kasun are the ones from the core High School Junkies team that are interviewed here, there's also Shenick who heads the sound department, Stefi who heads legal and a lot more people behind the scenes who make the magic happen. Kasun being the director of photography handles the visual side of our films while Shenick, also from the core team, handles every single sound that reaches your ears. And Stefi keeps us troublemakers handling things legally and out of trouble. Audio and visuals combined seamlessly tell the story the director wants to say. And every other creative department falls under audio and visual which are headed by these two who work constantly with Akash. Teddy was actually our fastest project to date, it took less than 4 months from conceptualization to final product. We're proud of what we've managed to do in a small time span and with a project that was shot in less than 24 hours. And we can't wait to share the movie with you. We want to extend a special thank you to Senitha from NewsFirst for covering our story and giving us the opportunity to share this project with the public.

Our Story

We are a bunch of filmmakers based out of Sri Lanka, who see the world cinematically. Our short action/thriller film "EIDETIC" was chosen as the first Sri Lankan film to be screened at the San Diego Comic-Con's film festival in July 2017. EIDETIC has been screened at Hollywood Boulevard Film Festival and Action Packed Film Festivals in LA, Raindance Film Festival in London and Austin Action Fest in Texas.

Our first horror project “The Summoning” was released in 2018 October and followed it up with a mini sequel titled “The Friend”. The Summoning was also accepted into San Diego Comic-Con’s film festival in 2019 becoming the second Sri Lankan film to do so.

Currently, we are working on a few other short projects and a feature. Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/highskuljunkies Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/highschooljunkies YouTube: http://bit.ly/2dKUb8T For business inquiries: Email us - [email protected]
