THE FORT – Official Trailer Premiere

After months of production, filming, and editing, the official trailer for our first film project “The Fort“, premiered today!

“The Fort” is an adaptation of Alan Lastufka’s short story of the same name.

Teenage best friends Erin and Tim have their own hideout in the woods. It’s an old reclaimed RV nicknamed the Fort. And it just grew a new door…

“The Fort” stars Callie Haverda (Netflix’s That ’90s Show) and Armani Jackson (Paramount+’s Wolf Pack). The film was co-produced by Umbrella Pictures and Shortwave. The film will head out on the festival circuit early in 2024, and will be released on home video Fall 2024.

While this is our first film production, we certainly hope it won’t be our last. We have so many great stories to share, both in print and, now, on screen!
