The Anomaly is a scifi mystery short film that follows Noelle (Kate McCosh), a young graduate of Environmental Science, as she navigates her way through a mysterious piece of land deep in the mountains. Told she must take a recently developed drug in order to combat the potential side effects of the site, she complies. Though she quickly develops a dependence to the drug, slowly warping her reality...
The hope of this film is to create some conversation on the opioid crisis, and the true evil of Big Pharma. The film has received global recognition from a number of film festivals, including Cannes World Film Festival, Mindfield Film Festival, and the Student Los Angeles Film Awards. The Anomaly was cowritten, coproduced, and codirected by Blake Kinsey and Dawson Bryant.
