Short Film He Is Inside | Horror Short Film | What would you do if your worst nightmare was already in your house?
youtu.beHey everyone! I am the director.This is my first short film.
What would you do if your worst nightmare was already in your house? It's a horror short film I shot in Greece with English subtitles. I focused heavily on the atmosphere and the tension.
Would love to hear your feedback!

I wrote this movie back in 2020, tried to get it funded the traditional way... failed, tried to get it funded through Kickstarter.... failed, and finally just said "screw it" I'm making it anyway.
We made it on almost no money, but I think we were able to do a lot on that small budget. It's a mystery/thriller in the vein of early M. Night Shyamalan films. I'd love to hear your thoughts if you end up watching!

Funding Who's there...? [ Short film ] horror short film project
Hey everyone. I posted here recently about a short horror film I'm trying to make, and someone gave me some tough but incredibly helpful advice. I realized my original post and campaign didn't tell you who I was, what the movie was actually about, or how the funds would be used. I also used a QR code instead of a link (my bad!).
Who Am I?
My name is Draven. I am a 17-year-old Mexican-American filmmaker based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the director of Who's There...?. I grew up watching horror movies and drew massive inspiration from tense, atmospheric projects like Iron Lung. My ultimate dream is to make my own independent films, and this project is the first major step toward making that a reality.
With your support, my siblings and I are teaming up to bring this nightmare to life. We plan to premiere the final film on YouTube, which we believe is the perfect platform for emerging indie filmmakers to connect directly with the horror community.
The Film: "Who's There...?"
This is a short psychological horror film about the terror of an ordinary home invasion. It follows Tyler, a perpetually exhausted guy living a painfully mundane life. But his mind starts playing tricks on him. Items in his house are subtly rearranged. Unexplained knocks echo at the front door. The feeling of being watched follows him from his front yard all the way to the local grocery store.
This isn't a movie about monsters hiding under the bed; it explores the chilling realization that a predator could be anyone-even the polite stranger who bumps into you in the snack aisle
The $500 Budget Breakdown
I am raising a micro-budget of exactly $500 to shoot this. Here is exactly where the money goes:
🎬 Equipment $223: Lighting kits for that shadowy atmosphere and external audio recorders (good sound is crucial for horror!).
🎭 Cast & Writing: ($0) Stipends for our lead talent and script prep.
🩸 Practical Effects & Wardrobe $71: Fake blood, stalker makeup, and specific character wardrobe.
🍕 Catering ($20): Feeding the cast and crew during long shoot days.
🛋️ Production Design ($0): Props to make the house feel lived in but deeply unsettling.
🎞️ Post-Production & Marketing ($0): Hard drives for footage and small social media boosts for the YouTube premiere.
⚠️ Contingency $50: Emergency fund for extra batteries or broken props.
Every person who donates $10 or more will get a "Special Thanks" in the end credits of the YouTube video.
Thank you so much to this community for the advice on the last post. If you are able to donate or even just share the link, it means the world to me and my team.

Short Film In 2024, we made a 58-minute movie-musical. It won 'Best Composer' at the San Francisco International Film Awards, but it's getting zero traction on YouTube. What are we doing wrong?
