Writer/director Paul Bickel makes his feature debut with Our Happy Place, a claustrophobic horror movie shot during the pandemic but finally hitting festivals now.
The film stars Raya Miles as Raya, a woman left to care for her bedridden husband (Bickel). Waking each morning in a nearby forest, Raya finds herself trapped in an endless cycle of nightmares in which she's buried in a deeper grave each time. When her reality and dreams begin to blur, Raya is drawn to a secret buried in the woods.
The film also stars Tracie Thoms and Eugene Byrd.
Our Happy Place receives its international premiere at the Raindance Film Festival on June 20th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Raya, a lonely woman caring for her bedridden husband, is haunted by terrifying nightmares. She wakes up each morning in the forest, falling deeper into freshly dug graves beneath her. As supernatural forces torment her and the line between dream and reality collapses, she unearths a horrifying secret buried within the woods—and herself.
