UNNAMED FOOTAGE FESTIVAL 8 presents:

Hunting Matthew Nichols

Better known for his acting roles in a handful of TV shows and Hallmark movies, Markian Tarasiuk’s directorial debut proves that he’s a creative force to be reckoned with. Taking the simple approach—a sister hunts for her brother who disappeared in the wilderness of Vancouver Island—Tarasiuk manages to craft a compelling narrative with unexpected twists and some solid, unexpected scares.

The Unnamed Footage Festival showcases features and short films all in the genre of found footage horror or faux documentary. With this event, we want to present to an audience these films as a legitimate cinematic movement, not a mere subgenre of horror. Spanning from shot on video experiments of the early 90s to new unreleased and underseen features, and not focusing specifically on horror, the Unnamed Footage Festival is set on opening a dialogue regarding the entertainment and artistic values of first person narrative filmmaking.
