Dark Veil
Amanda, a teenager who suffers from PTSD, takes a mysterious drug hoping to find peace. Instead, she is sent to a dark mirror world where demented versions of her family and friends want to kill her.
Dark Veil is a feature film by Director Diamond Monique Washington which has opened its doors to the the Producing Unique New Creators ("PUNC") program. PUNC program participants on The Rabbit Hole will receive a unique training experience on a real, professional feature film production. On Dark Veil, their work is hands-on, relied upon, and they are accountable for their own work. They do their work and learn their skills under the supervision of industry professionals.
PUNC program participants have the added benefit of networking among people who will already see them as colleagues and peers. This is a unique aspect of the PUNC career development program. Film and theatre, though preeminent in entertainment media, are essentially closed shops among a small community of creators. Networking is vital to being able to operate professionally in that environment. The PUNC program is designed to give its participants the ability to build their own contact network, from the start of their career.
Dark Veil explores current and perennial issues of trauma, PTSD, depression and self-acceptance. It is an entertaining but thought provoking psychological thriller. SSI is pleased to be able to work in partnership with The Rabbit Hole. Feature film production is exquisitely complex, and PUNC participants on The Rabbit Hole will acquire skills and experience that is very rare and important.
Dark Veil will premier exclusively on through SSI’s Virtual Theatrical program on the FilmPod platform in July, 2026. FilmPod’s Digital Box Office ticket holders will have exclusive access to The Rabbit Hole (and other Virtual Theatrical releases) before it goes to theatrical release in November 2026 and then wider streaming release.
Supporters of SSI will receive Digital Box Office tickets for all productions which are created with the assistance of PUNC participants.
