Call of the Unseen

With modern technology, reporting a crime has never been simpler.

Call of the Unseen

To be comforted by a big rock-thing

Call of the Unseen

"I'm not angry, I'm disappointed."

Call of the Unseen

"How may I help you?"

Realising a Vision

The film’s writer and director Henrik Pilerud draws upon his experience both as a filmmaker, and more recently as a costume maker and designer in order to create a world inhabited by more than just humans. During the last two years the team of talented professionals working both behind and in front of the camera has expanded considerably. The first scenes were shot at the onset of 2018 and editing started later that winter. The goal for early 2020 is to secure further financing in order to complete production and wrap the film for a possible release later in the year.

This story takes its characters into the unknown where all sorts of strange and unpredictable things can happen. And just as life is known to imitate art, this actual production may well take it’s players on a journey through similar twists and turns before our journey is complete.

Join us on our journey!

The Story

When her teacher mysteriously disappears, art student Mya sets out on a journey to bring him back.

Guided by clues found in her teacher’s eerie paintings, the journey takes her to strange places where she meets peculiar creatures.

Call of the Unseen

The project started January 2018 as an attack of inspiration. During the first half of 2018 the focus was writing the script and developing the story. A story about going into the unknown, taking a leap of faith. A story that takes us to mysterious places where we meet odd creatures.
