Paralyzed is a short film, directed by Aaron Sims, and written by Jeffrey Reddick about a horrific experience with sleep paralysis. It stars Brit Morgan, Jay Rodan, and Mark Steger.Sleep paralysis is a bizarre phenomenon in which victims awake and find they can't move, and in many cases, they also sense that an evil presence is in the room with them. Many of those who have experienced this also report a frightening figure sitting on their chest, sometimes choking them. It is a world-wide phenomenon that has been documented since ancient times.

"DIVE" is the first in a series of survival horror movies set in the uncharted corners of the planet, where man faces nature at her most beautiful and her most terrifying. Each environment features a unique creature with a look and lore inspired by the environment they inhabit. The series of films has the scope and beauty of a nature series (Planet Earth, Blue Planet) with the thrills and terror of the best horror films. Were using UNREAL ENGINE to bring this series of films to life utilizing its capabilities for our full-film pre-visualization, creature design, world building, Virtual Production and final VFX. Our mission is to give audiences a one of a kind movie going experience that elevates the horror genre to its greatest cinematic heights through the creation of a series of immersive Survival-horror films.We are very excited to share with you our official trailer, created entirely in Unreal.From Aaron Sims:DIVE is the first example of how we at ASC are using UNREAL engine as the backbone of our process for Virtual Art Direction, Production, and VFX. ASCs UNREAL pipeline will be indispensable in helping filmmakers realize their visions in real-time.I have been in the film industry for decades and have seen numerous changes in VFX during that time, and UNREAL is the first tool that I have used as an artist, VFX professional, and filmmaker that really has no limits as to what can be achieved - in half the time and for half the cost.Real-time VFX is here to stay.
