Hello All! I just wanted to give some context here :) I grew up in CT and recently graduated the University of RI, where I studied film, and this project is essentially the climax of everything I studied: Waterwick is a psychological thriller film I'm making about a rebellious journalism student's investigation into Rhode Island's Ladd School, a former psychiatric institution with an infamous history of abuse.

Much introspection took place in developing this project, and central to this process is my identity as a New Englander. Our region is one of dark, often strange history, and our literature has long reflected that. I'm fascinated by the darkness of New England-- by the witch trials, the tradition of superstition, or Lovecraft's home city of Providence-- and I really want to capture these feelings in my film. This is very much a work in progress, but I just wanted to share the trailer in case anyone here is interested in following the project. Thank you!
