The Events of That Night, As Best I Can Remember
A short cosmic horror
Starring Dessa
Directed by Brian Bieber
On her way home from a housewarming party, Elise observes—and is observed by—something bizarre, inexplicable, and familiar in the night sky. She leaves the experience shaken, only to find that it has just begun.
Inspired by the type of paranormal experiences too odd to categorize neatly, THE EVENTS OF THAT NIGHT, AS BEST I CAN REMEMBER falls somewhere between traditional genre conventions, under the multifaceted umbrella phenomena referred to by experiencers and researchers as High Strangeness.
Shot on location in Sioux Falls and Inwood, Iowa with a Sioux Falls crew, the short film marks rapper/singer/writer Dessa’s first foray into narrative film acting and features the on screen debut of Sioux Falls painter J. White in a supporting role. Costuming and art direction were provided by local artists Amy Jarding and Cameron Stahlheim.
THE EVENTS OF THAT NIGHT… will make its Sioux Falls premiere at the State Theatre on Saturday, Oct 12, as a fundraiser for The Transformation Project, an organization supporting and empowering trans individuals and their families across South Dakota.
