Midgies - A horror comedy about a mother and her teenage daughter’s road trip through the Scottish Highlands takes a deadly turn when they encounter a swarm of mutant midges. The film blends Scotland’s quick-witted humor with classic monster horror tropes for a universally entertaining experience. Gearing up for full production next year and are actively seeking investment to bring the full vision to life. Right now, one of our biggest goals is to demonstrate the film’s international appeal through engagement with the trailer.
