Untitled Native American Burial Ground Project

Project: Untitled Native American Burial Ground Project

The story takes place on a Native American burial ground, where a housesitter is pulled into the collision of past and present. It’s about haunted land, displacement, and survival — but it’s also about my own experience with homelessness.


This film is an autobiographical horror story being created in real time as I live it. I’m traveling through house-sits, writing and shooting as I go, and using each location as part of the unfolding narrative. The story isn’t something I’m looking back on from a distance — it’s something I’m still moving through, and the film grows out of that lived experience. I’m working completely guerrilla-style: gathering resources as I go, filming with what’s available, and shaping the script around the spaces and people I meet along the way. Instead of waiting for permission or perfect circumstances, I’m making the film now, with what’s in front of me. I’m also vlogging the process, because a big part of my vision is showing other actors and filmmakers that you don’t need to wait for a budget, a studio, or anyone’s approval to create something of quality. This project is both the story itself and a document of how stories can be made outside the system.
