The Unearthing is a 2015 American coming of age drama film directed by Tristan James Jensen and starring Riley Yeary, Angelina Masciopinto, and Kaleb Miller. The film follows a girl named Autumn who moves to Stillwater, Minnesota for the summer. She meets two misfit children, Charlotte and Parker, and together they seek to give a ghost closure.
Production began in the summer of 2013 and the total amount of filming took place in about 25 days. [1] Much of the film was unwritten at the time of filming. [2] The project was made with no budget and everyone working on it volunteered. [3]
A non-finalized version of the film had screenings in Stillwater in late 2014. [4] The earlier cut of the film was finally completed in the spring of 2015 and was screened at several festivals including Minneapolis Saint Paul International Film Festival, [5] Alhambra Theater Film Festival, [6] Fort Myers Beach Film Festival, [7] Duluth Superior Film Festival, [8] Broke Student International Film Festival, [9] and EDU Film Festival, with the latter two being special exhibitions. The trailer won the Best Student Trailer award at the International Movie Trailer Festival in 2013 [10] and the film itself won the Best Student Film award at Fort Myers Beach Film Festival in 2015.
