Ariana Richards (Jurassic Park, Tremors) will return to acting for the first time in over a decade in 25 Miles Out, a 1960s‑inspired horror short benefiting the World Wildlife Fund.
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive first look and details on the film in celebration of Earth Day.
25 Miles Out centers on a man searching for answers surrounding his sister’s disappearance at a remote fire watch tower, who becomes drawn into an increasingly unsettling walkie‑talkie conversation deep in the wilderness.
Richards, who retired from acting in 2013 to focus on her art, provides the voice on the other end of the walkie‑talkie, gradually building unease as uncertainty begins to distort perception.
Max Ossentjuk and Tim Daly (“Wings”) also star in the film, which emphasizes isolation, sound, and psychological tension.
Drawing inspiration from the visual restraint and pacing of mid‑century cinema, Cameron N. Clauson writes, directs, and produces via Pollinator Pictures.
“I’ve always loved films that center around isolation, but when they are so polished, it’s hard for me to totally buy in,” Clauson tells us. “With 25 Miles Out, we wanted it to feel raw; as if it’s just our main character and a camera in the woods.”
25 Miles Out will hit the festival circuit in the fall. All proceeds from the project will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund.
