Sleep Talking
Feature Film Trilogy | Horror | 2020-Present
Sleep Talking 1: Set in the 1990s, Maya is a 15-year-old girl who schemes to solve her family’s mystery and realizes that there is something demonic at her great aunt’s house when her sister starts sleep talking.
Starting with my first feature film, Sleep Talking, this trilogy will bring you further into our world — telling the story of the Gibson family, plagued by a demonic curse through generations. Playing out through a multi-timeline universe, the Sleep Talking Trilogy gives The Conjuring Universe tones with a structure akin to R.L. Stine's Fear Street.
Sleep Talking has been my heart & soul for the better part of two years. In many ways, it's a story about my own journey with my family, grief, and growing up. The production of this film is currently on hiatus.

Community & Crowdfund
Our community is for folks of all marginalized genders, horror-loving, emotionally connected humans.
We center all of our pursuits on building this community.
Through our film and these events, we are connecting with each other on a genuine level. All we want when someone watches our film or becomes a Sleep Talker is that they don't feel alone. With dozens of digital events, IG lives, podcasts and with our newsletter, we brought together over 500 people in these COVID times when we all felt separated.
With the support of our community, we successfully raised +$40,000. Enjoy our crowdfunding video below!
Our Intent
“The film industry is evolving so why not involve the heart of those who love movies? I want to create more than a film, but a community. I think the best way to do that is to show up vulnerably and share the process. For me, if I understand the inner workings and the stories behind a film, I learn a lot from it and I feel much more connected. I want people to be a part of this journey so we can support each other.”
Jess Costa, Director of Sleep Talking
