CALLAWALLAHASEE

Forty years after her father survived a river that took his friends, a graduate student returns to the Chattooga with her camera, planning to document the deaths. The river is still listening.

Notes from the Studio

Why this project belongs here.

The found-footage form is not a gimmick here. It is a moral problem: the urge to document what should perhaps be left alone.

CALLAWALLAHASEE was developed for an audience that understands regional dread, family inheritance, and the peculiar arrogance of returning with a camera.
