In the heart of New York’s East Village—one of the most culturally charged artistic communities in the world—Where The Shadows Wait has been selected as a Finalist at the East Village New York Film Festival.
For our film to resonate with a New York audience, especially one rooted in indie cinema, underground art, and character-driven storytelling, is a major milestone in our festival run. East Village has long been a haven for filmmakers who push boundaries, who explore tension and atmosphere with a raw, honest edge. To have our thriller recognized here means the emotional pulse of the film is landing exactly where it should.
This recognition continues the growing momentum behind Where The Shadows Wait, as we expand from regional showcases into national and international acclaim. Being named a finalist signals that the film is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with bold, visionary work from across the world, and it reinforces what audiences keep telling us:
the world of this story stays with you long after the credits roll.
Thank you to the East Village New York Film Festival for believing in the project and for creating a space where independent filmmakers can thrive. We’re honored to represent Chicago on a stage that has championed creativity for decades.
More news soon — our run is far from over.
