DARK AND MOODY PRODUCTIONS
Genre films made independently, with ambitious ideas, fierce visuals, emotional stories, and a personal touch.
We are a group of dedicated indie filmmakers from the Pacific Northwest, with our specialty being creative movies with indie twists.
Sci-Fi? We make that.
Horror? You betcha!
Action? Only every other day.
Mystery? We’re on the case!
Fantasy? It’s how we roll.

Short films, features, and supporting our pals along the way!
NEW SHORT 2025
Inspired by 70s Argento and `80s Fulci, this mish-mash of thriller and splatter is looking to scare and delight audiences in the new year!
IN SILENCE WE SUFFER (2019)
An atmosphere-laden horror tale about a woman realizing that something is amiss when the man who murdered her fiance is let out of prison.
Our first short shot in 4k, with little music and fantastic performances from local Portland actors!
SPUNK’S NOT DEAD
We contributed the action-packed dark comedy HIGH SCORE to this anthology film, along with producing and directing the wraparound segment “Actual Factual Truths.”
It was one of our most ambitious efforts to date, featuring practical monster effects, stylized CGI in almost every shot to give a retro videogame aesthetic, and four full action scenes!
