Mogenet released the complete approximately three-minute short on October 13. The premise is a company offsite in Costa Rica that takes team-building too far. Its original post identifies it as an entry in the Curious Refuge × Epidemic Sound horror contest; that is participation, not a selection or award.
Why this short matters
Corporate retreat language promises safety and belonging, making it a useful foundation for horror about coercion. The specific setting gives the menace a social context rather than relying on a creature reveal alone. Mogenet’s account of refining a continuous camera pull-back also provides a concrete directing decision: tension can depend on how a shot reveals its surroundings, not simply what is generated inside it.
Production and viewing
The maker directly identifies Seedance 2.5 on Dreamina. His separate shot reply says he worked to make the camera pull-back continuous. A complete crew, performer and audio-credit list, budget and production duration were not established by the original thread or linked portfolio. The competition branding is not evidence of a particular music licence or a production sponsorship.
Playback, the complete release, sampled imagery and the creator’s sources were checked. This is an introduction, not a complete critical review.
