Congratulations @creativeheadquarters and all our cast and crew!
Wolf Valley won BEST HORROR SHORT FILM at the @goldenstatefilmfestival 2026.

60 seconds on set at Creative HQ. 🎬

Cameras are rolling.
Crew is moving.
Decisions are happening in real time.

You’re learning how to shoot, direct, and tell a story while the film is being made.

This is where you figure out how it all comes together…
and where you find your place in it.

Every shot matters.
Every choice counts.
And you feel it.

That’s how you grow.

There’s a point where watching isn’t enough—you want to be part of making a movie for real.

Not watching it… not guessing—

this is what we do at Creative HQ.

Take a walk with me on set.

This is where the film actually gets made.
The decisions. The people. The problem-solving in between.

Hang On! This is how cinematic shots are built… not just to look good, but to hit.

Lighting. Movement. Intention.
Every frame earns its place.

This is the part most people never see.

🎬 Vanessa Nottingham and Dianna Cruz reliving the Wolf Valley premiere at the Chinese Theatre.

Big screen.
Packed audience.
Jump scares and laughs hitting exactly where they should.

That’s the moment every filmmaker hopes for.

The Wolf Valley premiere at the Golden State Film Festival was an unforgettable night… and just when the red carpet interview was wrapping up, David Goodman couldn’t resist ending it with a surprise werewolf scare. 🐺😄

🎬 Imagine if your first film set looked like this.

Not a classroom exercise.
Not a boring student project.

A real set.
A real crew.
A real action movie being made.

This is what happens when filmmakers actually get on set and start making movies together.

🐺 Three women accidentally hit a werewolf… and the night spirals out of control.
🤩 LIVE ON YOUTUBE! 🔥

On their way to a concert, three friends take a wrong turn and hit a werewolf — triggering a chain reaction no one can stop.

They rush the wounded creature to Max Luther, a legendary monster hunter hiding behind a comic-book FX shop.

But helping the creature sets off something far bigger than they expected.

Vampires emerge.
Secret deals collapse.
And the werewolves close in.
