NEURO is an experimental sci-fi short film set in the 1970’s by writer and director Wes Ellis. The film stars Samantha Robinson (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), John Valley (The Pizza Gate Massacre), Shannon McCormick (Breaking Bad, Red vs. Blue), and Van Quattro (Fight Club). After it’s world premiere at SXSW 2025 in Austin, TX, Wes looks to flesh this story out into a feature film.

While our crowdfund campaign helped cover production costs, we are actively seeking additional support to recoup post-production costs. Consider supporting via the store.
