Dead Loop

Aaron, a punk guitarist weighed down by guilt and grief, boards a night bus that won’t let him off. As the ride twists into a dreamlike descent, he’s joined by Louise—a ghost, a lover, a mother—and Cletus, a cryptic lawman who may be hunting more than just fare jumpers. The bus becomes a stage for flashbacks, confrontations, and memories soaked in music and blood. At its center is the death of a punk legend, a moment Aaron can’t outrun. The line between past and present blurs. The dead won’t stay dead. And Aaron might be driving the route whether he wants to or not. Dead Loop is a surreal horror short about guilt, memory, music, and the madness that comes when nothing ever truly ends.
