Production of a new short horror film called The Late Shift is set to start in November. The film’s producers, Joshua Brucker and Kate Riffe, are looking to crowdfund the project through Indiegogo. The whole thing started off as a short story Brucker wrote in 2016. We reported earlier that veteran horror actor Bill Oberst, Jr. (read our interview with him here) is on board and the cast is set to start production in Chicago once the crowdfunding campaign is successful.

Check out the teaser from the project page, then read on for all the details!

The Late Shift Synopsis

The Late Shift follows Beth, a night-shift nurse tasked with babysitting a quiet and near-empty patient wing. All is calm until a mysterious patient is brought it, exhibiting a high fever and sporting terrible wounds. His condition stabilizes and all returns to normal. But Beth is new to the late shift and she eventually closes her heavy eyes and accidentally drifts asleep. When she wakes up, however, not all is as calm and safe as it once was. Her new patient, she finds, harbors a dangerous and deadly secret that could cost Beth her life.

Breanna Mayberry, Jamila Webb, and Jessica Tomasko star alongside the aforementioned Bill Oberst, Jr.
