Launching ahead of the 2026 Halloween season, Black Ribbon Productions' first slate includes: The Veil, a bite-sized horror anthology series premiering on YouTube in August 2026; Emergence, a sci-fi horror short film starring Ambar Martinez (The Pitt, 9-1-1) and directed by J. Scott Miller (Future Ref); Thin Air, a horror sci-fi short film written and directed by Brooke Becker (produced in collaboration with Rhymes With Pie Productions) starring Monroe Cline (Don't Worry Darling, The Beauty) premiering at L.A Shorts International Film Festival in August 2026; and Dark Ages, a digital horror campaign following a woman being treated for endometriosis in the late 1400s.

"Black Ribbon Productions was born from the scary stories we used to read under the covers at night instead of doing our homework—terrifying and fascinating tales that speak to our most human experiences," says co-founder and Lead Creative Producer Brooke Becker. "We're thrilled to champion fresh voices and bring audiences the unexpected via the platforms they already gravitate toward."
