ABOUT THE FILM
The Hollow Girl is an independently produced psychological horror short written and directed by Kody Zimmermann and produced by Ghostwood Films. The film follows a troubled teenager with unexplained powers who becomes the key to solving the disappearance of a young woman—drawing dangerous attention in the process.
We are currently in post-production and preparing the film for a major Canadian and international festival run. The short is also being developed as a proof of concept for a feature-length film. Our team includes Executive Producer Rob Cowan, known for his work on The Conjuring franchise and other major feature productions.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We are seeking a Lower Mainland-based illustrator, visual artist, or graphic designer to create the official festival poster / key art for The Hollow Girl.
Artists at any stage of their career are encouraged to apply—emerging artists, recent graduates and established creatives alike.
We’re looking for something striking, atmospheric, psychologically unsettling and memorable—an image that captures the emotional core of the story and makes people want to know what lies behind it.
We’re open to hand-drawn illustration, painting, digital art, collage, mixed media, experimental approaches, or a combination of illustration and graphic design. Most importantly, we’re looking for a distinctive and authentic visual voice.
