Unleashing Authenticity with Shadow's Edge (The Story Never Lies)

Updated: Mar 22

Shadow's Edge is an 80s thriller short film that depicts an authentic representation of 80s Americana. It defies the propaganda-laden representations of mainstream depictions of the decade, more accurately labeled perverse.


The film features a breakout cast from southern California - Avan Ariy, Andrew Biernat, and Mauricio A. Saldana - and casts one of the most memorable decades against a haunted backdrop of three irreverent rebels encountering a strange 'thing' in the woods.


The film's creator is known for the award-winning short film, The Dark Resurgence, and now brings a new story to the front with Shadow's Edge. In a world where mainstream writers and directors have developed a pattern of creating alternate realities when depicting the past, Shadow's Edge stands out by presenting an accurate reflection when looking in the rearview mirror. The film departs from the typical post-modern portrayals of the era that more closely resemble Halloween rallies in the 2020s, where attendees follow a script confined to woke ideology. The adherence to post-modern left-wing sensibilities (ahistorical diversification, woke dialogue, and phobias regarding masculinity) in a period film results in a movie that is a far cry from the zeitgeist of the era the movie takes place.


Shadow's Edge is a refreshing and authentic 80s thriller that evokes creative independence in the same vein as the rebels portrayed in the film.
