THE UNCANNY
An official entry to The Manila Film Festival 2023
THE UNCANNY, the first film production that I’ve been part of. This film production has been an entry to the Manila Film Festival last May 2023. Being part of the production is such fulfilling for me as to be included in the production team as an extra talent such as Beach Ghost & Meusem Ghost and part of the Utility team. I am looking forward to all new opportunities to be part of a film production again, to continue my passion, and to hone new abilities.
Theme / Genre: Psychological Horror/Thriller
Synopsis: Jax de Jesus, a 27-year-old screenwriter, believes that it’s the only thing that she is holding on to. When she experiences a great writer’s block, she meets Kei Suarez, a 29-year-old architect who is renovating their ancestral manor in the mountain city. Having a mutual admiration and bond in their first encounter, Kei invites Jax for at least one week's staycation in their manor to refresh her mind to be inspired again in writing. As the two spend their time together, a series of unexplained encounters, mysterious events, and unimaginable occurrences begin transpiring inside the halls and beneath the walls of the manor, leading them to weigh their consciousness and define the boundary between reality and illusion, truth and lies, good and evil.
