A Motel Clerk Suspects a Killer | Outback Thriller Short Film | Granite Highway

Granite Highway | Australian Outback Thriller Short Film | Crime Mystery

A lonely motel receptionist suspects a mysterious drifter may be connected to a young woman's disappearance in 1990s outback Australia.

This tense, slow-burn crime thriller draws inspiration from real true-crime cases in remote Australia. A proof of concept for a feature film in development.
