World Premiere

It is with great pleasure that we bring you the World Premiere of Leah Walker's “The Third Eye,” a truly weird, psychological thriller that delves into the bizarre realm of voluntary trepanation: i.e. an ancient procedure that involves drilling a hole in you head to relieve the pressure in your skull and achieve enlightenment. If this sounds like an unbelievable premise for an IndieFest film, please visit the International Trepanation Advocacy Group at www.trepan.com for more information about the wonders of this old-school elective surgery.

“The Third Eye” follows hipster photojournalist Nika Printz as she desperately searches to uncover the true circumstances surrounding the mysterious and tragic death of her younger brother at the underground club The Rabbit Hole. As the first anniversary of his death approaches, Nika starts to notice strange details and clues from her own photographs that lead her to believe that Jake was into something far more terrifying than just drugs. As she begins to piece together the shattered truth, Nika’s suspicions rise and she questions the actions of those she believed to be closest to her. Throughout her journey, she is haunted by nightmares in which she is helpless and always unable to save Jake from his own destructive nature. To see the truth you must open your eyes.
