THE STORY

BEYOND THE FRAME.

Grace, Austin and Sean return to their childhood mall before its demolition. What starts as a fun, nostalgic day with friends becomes a fight for survival when they stay beyond closing time. Told through the lens of a camcorder in found-footage style, Vlog 30 finds horror in places they used to know.
