WHAT: Claire Miller is a twenty-something professional who finds herself housebound in the last months of a problematic (and unplanned) pregnancy. But her prescribed rest begins to resemble forced confinement under the care of Charles, her husband who seems more concerned about the baby than Claire’s own second thoughts about having a child – in particular, the fact that Claire is seeing her plans and career prospects shattered by impending motherhood. As Claire finds her free will gradually being taken away, Charles leaves on a weeklong business trip and she finds herself spending her nights alone in an empty house. But not for long: an intruder not of this world is in the house with Claire, and it wants something...
Shooting might take 3 half-days, depending on everyone's schedule. All shot inside, except for one short scene in the snow. There is no nudity. Because all expenses are out-of-pocket, there can be no compensation other than meals. And you will, of course, receive a DVD of the video.
