About the Production

A dreadfully deep reflection into the void of stolen identity, RAPTURE IN BLUE is the latest feature by Ryder Houston, creator of the nightmarish short VAMP TILL CUE. Starring Bryce Lederer, Sarah Greenfield, Tanner Garmon, and featuring a special appearance by singer Ariana Kelly, the paranoid film follows a trail of secrets and deception, leading its viewers upon sickening discoveries and graphic realizations. Trapped within the cobwebs of the past, RAPTURE IN BLUE finds its way into today’s spotlight, blazing like a cauldron of fire. Dubbed by Houston “a psychosexual thriller on the edge of the millennium” RAPTURE IN BLUE draws its style from a late-century gothic zeitgeist filled with dirty polaroids, ravished leather, and silver chains, set against the classic noir tableaux of hazy shutters, blinking neon, and glowing cigarettes. While searching for a private place all to themselves, an angsty young man, Jason (Bryce Lederer), and his naively devout girlfriend, Valerie (Sarah Greenfield), stumble across the devilish new boy, Sebastian (Tanner Garmon), who they discover has just moved into Jason’s childhood home. As the pressure rises to satisfy his girlfriend’s desires, so does the overwhelming feeling Jason is being watched. Do the intrusive photographs and omens of doom have something to do with the mysterious boy living in his old house, or could it be something even deeper than that -- something that’s been locked away for years, itching to be released? Through flickering neon and hazy noir shadows resides the ultimate truth. RAPTURE IN BLUE is red-hot and boiling over the top -- a feverish, nonstop gothic nightmare.

About the Creator

RYDER HOUSTON (Writer, Editor, Director, Composer)
Ryder Houston began conceptualizing the screenplay for the film with his writing partner Camille Hermida-Fuentes in 2016. After going their separate ways, Houston continued transforming the script and completed the first draft of Rapture in Blue January 2019. Pre-production immediately started to prepare for shooting that summer. After wrapping late July, Houston spent the remaining months putting the pieces together with funds earned in-part by ad revenue from YouTube videos he made when he was younger.
