Morning Shed
Morning Shed is a surreal body horror short exploring beauty, identity, and the pressure to remain endlessly consumable. Set within a hyper-feminine, retro-inspired world, the film blends sensuality and unease through a voyeuristic lens.
The film is set in the present day, but the Woman’s home feels suspended in time—an eclectic blend of vintage eras, where femininity is carefully preserved and endlessly repeated. Think pastel pink bathrooms, gold fixtures, mirrored surfaces, and silk textures — a space that feels curated, frozen, and untouched by time. This “stuck in time” design underscores her obsession with preserving youth and perfection, and why we're shooting on film!
A woman’s obsessive nightly beauty ritual takes a terrifying turn when a new skincare product forces her to confront how far she will go to reverse the effects of aging.
We are women telling women’s stories—reclaiming the feminine gaze within horror.
Beauty culture is louder than ever—filters, routines, products, and now even medical interventions promising to perfect and reshape us. These “morning shed” rituals flood our feeds, presenting transformation as empowerment.
Morning Shed is born from that anxiety. It’s a reflection of the shame, desire, and contradiction many of us feel in our own bodies, and a confrontation of the rituals we’ve been taught to normalize.
Help us bring this vision to life.
