"When, after a brutal breakup, Jamie chooses a mysterious crimson door over her friend's hand, a fame-hungry woman must accept a seductive inhabiter’s flawless beauty or lose herself — discovering that the real horror is the self-rejection that leaves her admired but emotionally hollow (horror, darkly tragic)."

After a messy breakup, Jamie bolts into a back-alley door at 11:11 and bargains for irresistible beauty with a seductive red presence—only to discover the bargain is less about temptation and more about the choice to abandon herself. In a haunted concrete room filled with echoes of her own past, the red figure offers a flawless, guiltless allure in exchange for the messy, loving imperfections tied to family and friends; Jamie chooses the safe, perfect longing and awakens at the cost of her inner life. Part psychological horror, part dark fable, Inhabitant tracks Jamie’s slow erasure—her dazzling exterior winning the world’s desire while the friend who once loved her finds an empty mirror where Jamie used to be.

Matt Moeller has aspired to be a writer, director, and funnyman since living in Orlando, Florida in 2004 which is basically the cretaceous period at this point. He’s written a book about improv comedy, hosted a live show where he got romantically dumped on stage 20 times in one night, made a ton of little fun videos for channel101 and YouTube, and now he’s full port into writing and directing horror shorts. This is the first you’ve heard of him and you’re unimpressed, but somewhat tickled at his self deprecation and meta humor. Wait, he’s standing right behind you right now, isn’t he?
