When two content creators move to a new Los Angeles neighborhood, little did they know they got more than they bargained for. A masked killer terrorizes what was supposed to be the start of their new life. Releasing later this Spring from director George Henry is STRAWSTALKER. See the first trailer below.


Synopsis: Henry and Haley are a rising content creator couple who’ve just moved into Oak Bridge, a Los Angeles neighborhood marketed as the safest place to live.
