That's a wrap on one of the most enjoyable shoots of my career thanks to a fantastic cast, crew and script. Now it's time to drown in post, eyeing 2026 for the release of THE CURRENT STATE OF THE BACKYARD POOL INDUSTRY. Photos by Leah Gallo. #thecurrentstateofthebackyardpoolindustry

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Terence Stamp. I had the privilege of working with him on Big Eyes & Miss Peregrine’s. Watching his process and hearing him speak about his extraordinary career was an incredible treat. Portrait Photo by Leah Gallo. #ripterencestamp #TerenceStamp

When navigating the realm of dramedy/dark comedy, it's always rewarding when a critic truly connects with what we were aiming to achieve. "Viaticum cleverly walks the tightrope between the sacred and the profane." #Viaticum #MinorProphets #DarkComedy #IndieFilm #FilmReview #RomePrisma

At my happy place. Island of the Dolls ~ Xochimilco, Mexico. #islandofthedolls #haunted #Mexico #xochimilco #laisladelasmunecas

So very pleased festivals and critics "get" what I was going for in creating VIATICUM. It's certainly not your typical comedy, defying conventions, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Updates including the latest full reviews and interviews are up on the website: www.derekfreyfilms.com

An early holiday gift! VIATICUM has been awarded BEST SHORT FILM at the WILDsound FEEDBACK Film & Screenplay Festival. Here's a fun and thoughtful reel of audience feedback: www.wildsound.ca/videos/audie... #wildsound #viaticum #blackcomedy #darkcomedy #dramedy #minorprophets
