At times both surreal and frightening, this American indie sci-fi/horror film follows a couple trapped in a mysterious and dangerous time loop. The marriage of Jen (Dana Berger, “Orange Is the New Black”, “Elementary”) and Dan (Max Woertendyke, “Succession”) is on the rocks, with Jen seriously considering ending it for good. But when the pair go on a daytime jog in an attempt to hash things out, they soon find themselves running in circles around a pond as the exit trail vanishes and they repeatedly return to the same spot. Being stuck together in an endless loop would be bad enough, but when a silent hooded killer appears and starts tracking them down, the couple must figure out how to survive — together or apart. In his debut feature film, writer/director/cinematographer Dane Elcar presents a smart, twisted, and wickedly funny film about the true horrors of a relationship.

“A very cool…wildly unusual genre movie. Brightwood is a testament to low budget indie filmmaking, the writing is strong and based on a solid structure, the characters are well fleshed out, the acting's strong, and the direction and camerawork get the most out of the location.”
