Personal Best - A Folk Horror Tale

👻 Written and Produced by Julie Hopkins

🔦 Cassie just wanted to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Still grieving the loss of her grandfather—her running mentor and biggest cheerleader—she signs up for a small-town forest race in Arizona with the help of her cryptid-obsessed friend, Theo. But when they arrive in the quiet, pine-covered town nestled near the Mogollon Rim, something feels off.
