Project Title: Something Old
Production Company: The Peoples Network
Location: Las Vegas, NV
Filming Dates: Nov. 5th - 12th
Type: Non-Union | Micro-Budget
Genre: Psychological Thriller
📝 SYNOPSIS:
On the eve of her wedding, Kara finds herself haunted by the past she thought she’d buried. Dreams of her obsessive ex-boyfriend Malik begin to resurface, stirring doubts about her future with her devoted fiancé, Jordan. When Malik unexpectedly returns, demanding “closure,” Kara is pulled into a dangerous emotional tug-of-war between the life she’s built and the love that once consumed her.
Her outspoken best friend Simone offers sharp humor and tough love, while Jordan’s groomsmen — Rick, Tyrell, and Calvin — bring a chaotic mix of loyalty, recklessness, and dark comedy during Jordan’s bachelor night. Kara’s father adds heartfelt wisdom, reminding her that clarity is as important as commitment.
What begins as a search for closure spirals into a tense psychological showdown where passion, obsession, and betrayal collide. By morning, love and loyalty will be tested, and someone won’t make it to the altar.
Tone: Psychological thriller with darkly comedic edges. Characters must balance authentic emotional depth with moments of levity.
