The Silencing

Alcoholic Rayburn Swanson is the owner of the Gwen Swanson Sanctuary in northern Minnesota, named after his missing daughter. The sanctuary is an act of penance, both because Gwen disapproved of his trapper lifestyle and because she had disappeared from his car five years earlier while he went into a store to buy whiskey. Rayburn keeps hunters out by using surveillance cameras. It is scheduled to be released through DirecTV Cinema on July 16, 2020, prior to a video on demand release on August 14, 2020, by Saban Films and Mongrel Media.
