Adjoining (Horror Short) from Harrison Houde on Vimeo.

A couple's motel stay takes a chilling turn when they discover they're being observed, leading to unexpected consequences. Adjoining is a nostalgic take on our current societal fears of privacy, always being watched or recorded. --- Written & Directed By Harrison Houde & Dakota Daulby Starring Brenna D'Amico (Descendents) Carter Glade (Better Call Saul) and introducing Sid Noelle. --- Harrison Houde and Dakota Daulby: Co-Directors of "Adjoining"

Harrison Houde and Dakota Daulby bring a compelling synergy to their roles as co-directors on "Adjoining,".

Harrison, known for comedic acting in "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and "Some Assembly Required," has recently focused on visual storytelling with shorts like "I Dare You" (Telefilm Canada NSOT Cannes 2016) and "Cafe Racer" (Beverly Hills Film Festival, Tokyo International Short, Leo Award Winner and Tokyo Film Award Winner).

Dakota, an acclaimed actor. His short film debut “Vance” receiving international distribution through Gun Powder and Sky’s short horror platform ALTER, leading to his feature film option through Kin Productions. With a collection of acclaimed acting roles on "Shogun", "Mayans MC," "Billy The Kid," and “Longlegs”, Daulby is an impressive multi-hyphenate.

Harrison and Dakota's collaboration dates back nearly a decade to their first short film, with Harrison directing and Dakota starring. This summer, Houde directs his feature film debut (co-writing with Dakota) in Quebec with Vital Productions, starring Dakota Daulby.

Adjoining marks their first time co-directing despite many years of co-producing.

Passionate about exploring voyeurism and obsession, they blend Harrison’s visual and music acumen with Dakota’s performance-driven approach, aiming to craft a film that is both visually striking and emotionally profound.
