He is deep in post-production on his latest film, Traintracks, an autobiographical horror movie based on the mysterious disappearance of his friend several years before.Despite maintaining a confident outer composure, Ethan's inner neurosis grows more troublesome by the day. He's not being truthful about what really happened to his friend, and having to relive the experience day after day through making his movie is slowly eating him alive. When he begins to hear a mysterious, all too familiar noise in the film, this is the final tipping point towards a total breakdown. Looking for performers who are able to play complex psychological distress with just a look. | ||

Description Katie is the sound mixer on our protagonist Ethan's horror film Traintracks. She is an intelligent, pragmatic person with a passion for her craft who acts as a grounding foil to Ethan's increasing paranoia.

However, even she finds herself unnerved by the emotional effect this mysterious sound cue is clearly having on her director. | ||
