Stages is an award-winning short screenplay by local filmmaker Claire Haines. The film follows Dalila, a young woman who tragically loses her husband to COVID. As she processes her grief, she feels a presence in her home. Thinking it's her husband, she invites it in, but soon realizes it's not her husband’s ghost, but a malevolent entity that is feeding off her grief.
Did you know that only 3 woman have won Best Director in the history of the Oscars and only 7 have been nominated? Only 1 woman has been nominated for Best Cinematography. Code Bear Media is a female-led filmmaking team based in California. Representation both in front-of and behind the camera is important.
