“Through the OBSCURA is a twisted descent into desire, fear, interpersonal projection, and the fortresses we erect to reinforce ourselves; only to discover how effectively we have shut ourselves in”
OBSCURA is a 25 minute LGBTQ+ film in the genre of fantasy / horror. Shot around Austin, TX, Obscura follows lonely photographer Robin (Jesse Ray Payne). Fatigued by the barrage of insecurities that dominate one’s early 20s, he craves his own dissolution…in love. Enter Kai (Tay Mansmann); flamboyant, seemingly fearless, especially jaded, and for whom the self-confidence Robin yearns for appears to come so. dang. easy. Robin would follow Kai anywhere, even into the belly of a haunted crop house where a cursed camera obscura awaits...
And only in the darkness will we come to light.
OBSCURA proudly endeavors to expand complex LGBTQ+ stories and characters across genres. Find us where a queer love story meets experimental horror.
