"I always felt like surround sound in the theater would be a great opportunity to take what I learned and play around with it-to create a 3D soundscape and guide the viewer's attention to different spaces around them."
"The Undertone allows Evy to escape from the depressing day-to-day of administering palliative care—that is, until a fan-sent email containing an eerie audio recording lands in their inbox."
"Evy begins to encounter bizarre phenomena soon after. Her unconscious mother's body inexplicably moves out of bed; lights flicker at random; a statue of the Virgin Mary returns to a bedside table despite multiple attempts to stow it in the back of a closet."
The film features Evy, a podcast co-host, who records episodes during the witching hour while caring for her comatose mother. An eerie email with an audio recording of a couple's paranormal encounter leads to bizarre occurrences in Evy's life. As she investigates the audio's origins, she experiences unsettling phenomena, including her mother's body moving and lights flickering. The film blends elements of scripted podcasts and found footage, utilizing surround sound to enhance the immersive horror experience.
