We’re so excited to announce the first 3 episodes of FINAL TRANSMISSIONS will be screening at the Unnamed Footage Fest 24-Hour virtual broadcast, October 2–3!

UFF has such a special place in our hearts. We had one of our favorite screening experiences ever with OLD WOUNDS last year. The Discord makes it so much fun to watch together and chat while the movies are playing!

We also met several of the filmmakers who would eventually become part of FINAL TRANSMISSIONS through UFF, which makes being part of this fest again feel extra meaningful. 🖤

Get your tickets now and we’ll see you in the static!

When I was 13 I had a sister for 6 months
She arrived one February morning
Pale and shellshocked
From past lives I could not imagine
She was 3 years older than me
But in no time we became friends
We'd listen to her mixtapes
Dead Can Dance, Felt, This Mortal Coil
She introduced me to her favorite books
Gave me clothes
And my first cigarette

Sometimes
We would head down to Blackbirds Moor
To watch the barges on Grand Union in the twilight
She said "the water has no memory"

For a few months everything about our lives was perfect
It was only us
We were inseparable

But gradually
She passed into another distant part of my memory
Until I could no longer remember her face
Her voice
Even her name

"Perfect Life" by Steven Wilson @stevenwilsonhq from Hand. Cannot. Erase.

Photos from the world premiere of Final Transmissions at GenreBlast! It was thrilling to get to share Bethel Hill with its first audience. I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to create Bethel Hill, and extremely grateful to everyone on the incredible crew who helped bring it to life, as well as everyone on the Final Transmissions team who have worked so hard to build this project. I can’t wait for the rest of the show’s journey with this wonderful team. Thanks to everyone who came out to see the first episodes of our analog horror show!
