The Cast
Kyle Mac as “Charlie”
Kyle Mac is most recognized for his series regular and recurring roles in the three NETFLIX original series: HEMLOCK GROVE, 21 THUNDER & BETWEEN.
“The subject matter can be difficult to discuss openly in our daily lives. This film has the opportunity to visually & emotionally connect its audience to this paralyzing feeling within Charlie. Which is ultimately a universal truth inside all of us.”

Bill Kates as “Sid Penrose”
Bill Kates took a small thirty year pause in his acting career to get sidetracked as a radio producer and broadcaster, in places like WBCN, Boston, K-Rock in New York, and XM Satellite Radio, where he co-created the comedy channels, 60’s on 6, and more. Now he’s in Hollywood, building up his resume with voice, acting, and sound design work, as a young man should.
“I love The Twilight Zone, and I’m drawn to characters with some mystery to them, maybe a bit of mystical power. The description sounded intriguing, so I applied. As soon as I read the sides for the audition, I was sure I wanted to give it a shot. I’m very grateful for the chance to portray Mr. Penrose.”
