Synopsis/Details
A young woman’s hermit-like existence is supplemented by endless hours spent viewing the comings and goings of others through the peephole in her apartment door. Life passes uneventfully, but soon the activities within her 120 degree fish-eye viewpoint become increasingly disturbing, and not only because some passersby seem to have become aware that she’s watching them. Finally, late one night, when all is dark and quiet, the woman’s curiosity gets the better of her and she ventures forth. Influenced by Lynch’s "Eraserhead", Polanski’s “Repulsion”, and maybe my own nightmares and imagination, I think you'll enjoy this vexing but distinctly non-gory, non-violent, non-profane horror tale. ____________________________________________________ Producers: Please contact me for the full script/synopsis, or buy the Kindle version at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MH6356D Note: As of June, 2018, this short and the 3 others I've written have been compiled into a feature anthology, "Stories for a Summer Beach Party".

The Writer: Steve Garry

I'm an incorporated businessperson, operating as Integer Entertainment, who's actively pursuing attachments for my smaller scale projects before I work my way up. While the status of my scripts here may read 'For Sale', for all but the blockbuster-sized budget titles I'm more likely to be seeking producers, talent and investor collaborators, as a co-producer or EP, wherein I'd bring my screenplay as well as a finance plan, budget, shooting schedule, package elements, and some funding to the table. In addition, with a decade of pitching behind me and being read hundreds of times, I may have connections to enhance the resources that you have available. Don't hesitate to approach me with this… Go to bio
