Tony Amendola (Spin the Bottle, Annabelle) and Jamison Jones (The Wretched) have joined the cast of the horror short The Agreement at Clivemore, which is set to begin filming next month.
The short film follows “the retiring Hospital Director of the mysterious Clivemore Hospital, who meets his successor and reveals a disturbing secret: a haunting contract every new employee must sign – no exceptions.”
Amendola will play Doctor Burgos, while Jones will play Paul Echols.
The Agreement at Clivemore is directed by Ryan Godoy (Every Night I See Them) and written by David Draper. Draper’s script was initially adapted into a podcast by UK creators Miscreation and featured in an audio-drama anthology on Spotify, Audible, and Apple Podcasts.
Godoy and Draper’s short is described as “having a nostalgic nod to the classical mysteries of Night Gallery and the creepiest episodes of The Twilight Zone,” evocative of “more recent chills, such as Netflix’s The Haunting of Bly Manor, and hints at a larger world of horror as in Hulu’s Castle Rock.”
The horror may extend beyond the short, too, with production set at the La Villa Bella, a popular wedding and event venue in Upland, California, located on the original San Antonio Hospital site. Once a working hospital in the early 1900s, the location and its former “Nurses quarters” have a reputation for being haunted.
The Agreement at Clivemore is one of several new films emerging from the Inland Empire, a growing production hub just outside Hollywood’s traditional borders.
