In the organizer's words:

Shelby Oaks

For twelve years, Mia has been desperately searching for her little sister Riley, the former star of the investigative cult series "Paranormal Paranoids". Riley's former team was cruelly murdered. But what happened to Riley? The young woman disappeared without a trace near the ghostly town of Shelby Oaks. The call "Who took Riley?" engaged millions of followers and was emblazoned in large letters on every house wall in the area. But that was years ago, and now everyone seems to have forgotten Riley's fate. Suddenly, however, Mia gets her hands on a mysterious videotape entitled "Shelby Oaks" - and finally has a lead.

Produced by genre master Mike Flanagan, Chris Stuckmann's debut film skillfully combines true crime, found footage and occult horror. From the evocative soundtrack to the varied imagery, he creates a thrilling visual firework. SHELBY OAKS is an atmospheric mystery thriller with an ending you won't see coming.
