Synopsis/Details
Threshold is a psychological thriller in the vein of Black Mirror, Hereditary, and Get Out. It follows Ren Calloway, a young man whose life seems perfect — friends, stability, peace — except he doesn’t remember living it. When fragments of his traumatic past resurface, Ren discovers he’s been replaced by an “optimized” version of himself, engineered by the enigmatic Threshold Institute. His copy has taken his life, his relationships, and even his memories. As Ren spirals between truth and illusion, he uncovers that the Institute’s goal isn’t just treatment — it’s replacement. He must decide whether to merge with his double and lose himself forever, or fight to reclaim the broken, painful identity that makes him real. Threshold explores questions of memory, authenticity, and the price of manufactured peace. It’s a grounded, tension-driven thriller designed to resonate with fans of elevated horror and psychological suspense.

The Writer: Brandon Banks

I am a screenwriter focused on psychological horror and science fiction, with a passion for stories that blur the boundaries between memory, identity, and reality. My feature screenplay Threshold explores themes of mental health and cult manipulation, while my short Adversary was a TMFF Semi-Finalist. I write to provoke both unease and reflection, drawing inspiration from films like Memento, Hereditary, and Get Out. My goal is to craft atmospheric, character-driven scripts that resonate with audiences and collaborators alike. Go to bio
