Gauntlet of a Gambit | Short Film (2026)

Trapped for three days. No power. No way out. Illusion becomes reality. Follow Jessie Fishbach, a seasoned ghost investigator in 1989, as she becomes trapped inside an abandoned hospital with a past far darker than she ever imagined. Every hallway whispers secrets, every shadow conceals a threat, and the fractured mind of Patient 2667 watches her every move. Can she uncover the truth before the spirit finds her? #gauntletofagambit Cast & Crew: Directed By: Aiden Molloy and Aiden Denis Created By: Hunter Cowdery and Darryth Jones Written By: Hunter Cowdery and Darryth Jones Produced By: Aiden Molloy, Aiden Denis, Hunter Cowdery, and Darryth Jones Starring: Victoria Garcia Casique as "Jessie Fishbach" Dread as "Patient 2667 (Gunther)" Music Composed By: Arius Directors of Photography: Aiden Molloy and Aiden Denis Casting Directors: Hunter Cowdery and Darryth Jones Makeup Artist: Amelia Torman Concept Artist: Emily Young Camera Operators: Aiden Molloy and Aiden Denis Edited By: Hunter Cowdery Practical Effects Coordinators: Aiden Molloy and Aiden Denis Lighting Assistance: Maria Munoz Behind-The-Scenes Videography/Photography: Lili Duran, Connor Murphy, Dominic Ortiz, Amelia Torman, Tyler Williams Production Assistants: Salina Chawla, Ryan DesRochers, Lili Duran, Benjamin Ginsburg, May, Connor Murphy, Dominic Ortiz, Valeria Reyes, Amelia Torman, Tyler Williams, Emily Young Produced in the United States.
