The new short horror film Terroir, written and directed by Casey Rogerson, is making its way through the festival circuit this October, with screenings at multiple events across North America.

The 13-minute film follows a young wine critic (Madison Hu) who returns to a French vineyard one year after publishing a scathing review. What begins as a revisitation soon turns into a fight for survival as she and her friends are hunted by a masked killer.

Terroir stars Madison Hu (The Boogeyman, The Brothers Sun, Bizaardvark), Leenya Rideout, Naomi Rubin, João Santos, and John R. Howle (Bleeding). Rogerson, a directing fellow at the American Film Institute Conservatory, also produced and edited the film, marking a strong creative debut for the filmmaker.
