Haint: A Horror Short Explores Gullah Geechee Cultural Erasure

Haint is a scary movie about the Gullah Geechee people, a group with a unique culture and language in the South.

The movie shows how their way of life is disappearing because of things like gentrification and losing their land.

The story follows a woman who might have to team up with spirits to protect her community from harm.

The director was inspired by childhood experiences with sleep paralysis and local stories of the "haint" which are spirits or ghosts.

The film also explores the importance of respecting different cultures.

The goal is to remind people to be mindful of the impact they have when they move into new places and how that may affect the current culture already there.
