Introducing ‘THE HATCHLING,’’ an original short film that transports you to a world where dinosaurs and man coexist. Nestled within the picturesque outskirts of Pine Ridge, a tight-knit group is thrust into a thrilling adventure to help reunite a baby Deinocheirus with its family in the sun-soaked wilds. Alongside evading the wrath of prehistoric beasts, our heroes are entangled in a web of forces who wish to capture the infant for their dubious agendas.

On her birthday, Ann visits the P.O.D. outpost where her estranged gay fathers, Callum and Devin, reunite for her. A scream attracts deadly raptors, forcing the family to take refuge in their car as Ann suffers an asthma attack. When a smuggled raptor egg is revealed, returning it becomes their only chance to survive.

An anthology follow-up to The Hatchling (2023). Plot is under wraps.
