A short film by Blake Linder

When Roger kidnaps his kids, convinced he’s protecting them from a broken home, he spirals into obsession—blind to the darkness stalking them. A sinister entity known as the Father Figure feeds on fractured families… and it’s watching.

When the children vanish, Roger must confront the demon—and his own buried guilt—to save them.

Father Figure is a chilling dive into control, masculinity, and generational trauma, blending psychological horror with supernatural dread. — CAST Roger – Torrey Lawrence Jordan – Evan Moody EJ – Cameron Christopher Bianca – Amberlin Morse Calvin – Robert Hart Father Figure – Samuel Turner — CREW Director – Blake Linder Executive Producers – Stuart & Crystal Linder Producer – Sayre Crabtree Writers – Sayre Crabtree & Blake Linder — CAMERA Director of Photography – Conrad Holzman 1st AC – Liam Shore 2nd AC – Skyler Poiley Drone Operator – Nevin Day — GRIP & ELECTRIC Gaffer – Brandon Harris Key Grip – John Shutika Swing – Bradley Belish, David Pineda — PRODUCTION & ART Production Manager – Allen Felix Production Designer – Seif Nabulsi Art Director – Jaxon Foltz — POST-PRODUCTION 1st AD – Sayre Crabtree Editor – Dillon Cullinan Sound – Michael Kelley Sound Designer – Josh Aude Composer – Lu Cheng Post Supervisor – Raine Nájera Colorist – Edgar Reyna Color Assistant – Esteban Reyna Tracking & Compositing – Andrés Handal, América González — ADDITIONAL CREW BTS – Tommy Ly Studio Teacher – Heather Dieffenbach Intimacy Coordinator – Jean Franzblau PAs – Ben Tisherman, Nova Renay — GUARDIANS Cameron’s Guardian – Larry Christopher Evan’s Guardian – Charon Moody
