A creature stalks the woods near North Bender. It kills the person you love most, erasing them from your memory. A makeshift hunting party forms to track it down before it feeds again.
 
This surreal comic fable by Dylan Guerra, directed by Dustin Wills, follows a grieving ex, his fiercely loyal sister, and a partner who can’t remember the man he loved, as they join forces in a local pub to bring this creature down and reclaim what they’ve lost. Silver bullets are forged. Old wounds reopen. And these unlikely comrades confront the fact that restoring what they lost might hurt more than losing it.
 
The Grief Eater Near North Bender is a fierce and darkly funny descent into love, loss, and the cost of facing what we’d rather outrun. Ready or not.

Additional cast and creatives will be announced at a later date.
