The Gate: A Sci-Fi Horror Short Film

The Gate is a science fiction short film with a horror film subtext. Written and directed by Matt Westrup and produced by Spencer Friend, the film is set in a world where the use of unregulated prescription drugs has led to long-dormant DNA sequences being reactivated in adults — to a horrific end.

This short was shot over a period of just four days and Westrup is currently working on a full-length feature version of the story for Start Motion Pictures (formerly Wayfare Entertainment).
