HUNTING
MATTHEW NICHOLS
Two decades after her brother and his friend mysteriously disappear, Tara Nichols, a documentary filmmaker, sets out to solve their missing person's case. When an unsettling piece of evidence is revealed, Tara and her film crew investigate the disturbing circumstances surrounding the case to uncover the truth about her brother's disappearance.
Twenty years ago, two teenage boys, Matthew Nichols and Jordan Reimer, were inspired by the release of The Blair Witch Project. The boys broke out a VHS camcorder and started filming their adventures in a forest on the northern edge of Vancouver Island.
And then something terrible happened … Matthew and Jordan went missing. No one in the rural community could account for their disappearance. Was this a hoax? Did the boys simply run away? It wasn’t uncommon for young people to flee the small town in search of big adventures in the city... but where did they go?
Then, in 2023, Tara Nichols (Matthew’s sister) sets out to discover what happened to her brother. The only clues that offer Tara insight into the boys’ vanishing is a stack of homemade VHS recordings that chronicle her brother’s fascination of a local legend. When an unsettling piece of video evidence is revealed, Tara, and the rest of her documentary crew, spiral into the investigation and the disturbing circumstances behind Matthew and Jordan's disappearance.
