We filmed this on a micro-budget, over the course of 13 days, with a rotating crew of less than 5-6 people each day. We wanted to see what we could create using just the resources we had. “Between Two Waves” tells the story of two estranged siblings who come back together to settle their mothers estate after her passing. Using details from director Courtney Sposatos family history, we created a sci-fi horror drama about generational trauma and the importance of sibling relationships.
