  • A young boy discovers a strange fossil that holds the key to his father's disappearance.
    VESTIGE is used with permission from Static Flow Productions. Learn more at staticflowproductions.com.
    Lucas's father disappeared by the sea when he was younger, and Lucas is still haunted by the loss. He listens repeatedly to the cassette tapes where his father recorded his thoughts, and he revisits the places his father used to go.
    One day, visiting a cave by the sea that his father once explored, Lucas comes across a strange fossil. He takes the fossil home, setting off a chain of eerie moments and clues -- one that might lead to solving the mystery of his father's disappearance.
    Directed by Joe Simmons from a script co-written with Gudni Lindal Benediktsson, this atmospheric horror short is one boy's journey to unravel the mystery of a defining absence of his life. Lucas's father walked into the sea, and Lucas has been in his grandfather's care since. His life is a quiet and solitary one, captured in misty, beautifully bleak cinematography. These melancholic visuals also suit the seashore where Lucas likes to roam. It's where his father used to go, as revealed by the audio journals that Lucas listens to on old cassette tapes.
    Lucas discovers a strange fossil in a cave by the ocean, it seems to unlock new dimensions of the mystery surrounding his father's disappearance. Strange things begin to happen that indicate his father may have been transmuted into some kind of supernatural presence, a possibility that Lucas can't help but hope for and pursue.
    The hints and clues accumulate for both Lucas and the viewer, and though they're increasingly ominous, Lucas is driven for any insight into his father and the choices he made. Young actor Ben Hackett's sensitive, self-contained performance is resolutely restrained, hinting at the loneliness and emptiness that young Lucas feels in his parent's absence, despite his well-adjusted demeanor. This inner void within him responds to the tantalizing possibility of communing with his father in any way possible.
    Visually stunning, poetic and then hair-raisingly eerie, VESTIGE ends with a remarkably imagined scene that is sinister, ethereal and achingly emotional all at once for Lucas. The film is true to the dictates of its horror genre in the end, but it resonates beyond fear and dread because of its darkly luminous images and its tender evocation of a bereft young child haunted by loss. Lucas's life is shaped by his father's absence, leaving a hole within himself. He will do anything to fill that hole, traveling to even the darkest corners for any hope of sensing his presence again.

    Great movie, no guns blazing, car chases, just good acting and fantastic writing. Shot with great presence, shots were chosen well, the jumpscare at the end was fun but not needed in my view.
    Overall a great piece of work, well done

    I knew a guy named "Steve Evets" 25 years ago in Jax, FL. He did not want to keep his father's last name and legally changed his surname to EVETS (backwards STEVE)

      When I was a little girl we had a trend in which we’d say our first and last names backwards and decide what our nationality was. Jeff Jones has me stumped though because “Ffej” ? Let’s try what I’m assuming is your full first name: Jeffrey? Yerffej? Yerffej Senoj? 🤔 Icelandic, maybe?

    Congrats to all involved! It kept me interested from beginning to end, although I was expecting a more spiritual take as in his dad was really talking to him but after the hand hurting him it hinted something more sinister was about to happen.
    What happened to his mum? And I take the only survivor is the dog.

    I suggest to new joiners that don't expect any after sale service from vestige stores. Reason is iam facing exchange issue since 3months and advice from senior distributors who achieved car and Maldives trips they also says thatbstores don't give proper service after sales. And even they don't respond to calls and watsup massage.
