NEBULOUS the FEATURE FILM CAMPAIGN

 Steve Desmond cowriter of M. Night Shyamalans'  "Knock at the Cabin" 

"I'm honestly very impressed, especially given the age of Aeris and this being her first film. Aeris Danet has a lot of innate talent in shot composition, editing, pacing, and rhythm."

Indie Horror Junkie Magazine 

Aeris Danet isn’t just breaking into horror filmmaking, she’s kicking the door down and claiming her place among the next generation of horror filmmakers to watch. With Nebulous picking up steam on Google search lists for “youngest indie horror filmmakers 2025,” Danet is eyeing the next step: turning her short into a full-length feature. And if the short is any indication, this is a movie horror fans won’t want to sleep on. For those keeping track, Aeris Danet is already a SAG-AFTRA actress, a member of the Independent Film Alliance of Chicago, and now, one of the most talked-about young horror filmmakers of the year. 

This final girl isn’t just surviving, she’s making the damn movie!
