Or maybe just the perfect excuse to set your next camping trip ablaze with storytelling! This film snatched the top spot, proving that sometimes, the scariest journeys are the ones we take outdoors.
The Crown Jewel: 'Don't Even Go There'
Hiking is supposed to be about peace, tranquility, and the occasional Instagram post, but Cawsey flips that script on its head.

Noteworthy Contender: 'P.O.V.'
Meanwhile, the Ritson Brothers are stirring the pot with their sci-fi creation, 'P.O.V.' This high-concept feature dives into the complexities of perspective—literally and metaphorically. Blake Ritson, known for his role in 'The Gilded Age,' teams up with his brother Dylan to explore what it means to see the world through someone else’s lens. Expect mind-bending visuals and a plot that’ll make you question reality itself. You might want to keep your tinfoil hats handy for this one!
