A group of photographers embarks on an expedition to an abandoned mental asylum, led by a charismatic but enigmatic tour guide.

Stranded, the photographers try to make the most of the unsettling location but begin to uncover a dark, paranormal secret about the asylum through their cameras—and discover a hidden truth about their guide’s intentions and true identity.

Trapped in Mystery, Born in Laughter

As Taylor embarks on her senior year, equipped with three years of rigorous film school experience, she dives into her senior thesis: Deadpanorama, a mystery-comedy that reflects her artistic journey while weaving in her passions for history and the paranormal. The concept sparked during a photography retreat at the infamous, haunted Pennhurst Asylum in Pennsylvania. A storm trapped her on the property, and amidst the eerie atmosphere, inspiration struck. Now in development, Deadpanorama is an unfolding tale planned to begin production in Fall 2025.
