YOU CAN GO HOME WHENEVER YOU WANT

In a town haunted by mysterious disappearances, a secluded hill rumored to be a gateway to the afterlife draws a man into a monk-like existence... until an old bandmate arrives with a birthday cake, unraveling long buried feelings about life.

Matthew Paul Everitt is a filmmaker from Grand Rapids, Michigan. His films explore the identities people fabricate and how those identities create a new reality for others, and is deeply indebted to the films of Andrei Tartoksky and Micahel Mann.

His previous short film Waffle Home (2022) was adapted from a viral Reddit thread and won Best Screenplay at the Grand Rapids Film Festival. He is currently developing STRUNG OUT, a feature film that merges string theory, music, and the life of artist Hilma af Klint.
