Deadrise

A weary sailing crew pulls a woman named Olivia out of the dark sea, and then the crew starts to disappear. A deep-sea maritime horror short styled on the gritty nautical cartoons of the 1930s, made in five days with Topview for the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia 2026, for about $1,200. JSFILMZ set out to push Seedance 2.5 to its breaking point in low light. Sound editing by Johan Sugarev.
