LIMINAL was never meant to end at one film. What follows is the rest of the record: the footage that leaked out before release, the paperwork someone was not supposed to keep, and the story that comes before the story.

CORRIDORS

A LIMINAL prequel

CORRIDORS is a psychological science-fiction drama set years before the events of LIMINAL. As physicists Vincent and Elaine Marcum edge closer to a breakthrough in time travel research, their daughter Abigail watches from the sidelines of a life consumed by impossible ambitions. When an experiment goes catastrophically wrong, Elaine and Abigail are thrust into a version of reality where the familiar remains but humanity has vanished.

Expanding the mythology of LIMINAL, CORRIDORS explores family, sacrifice, and the devastating consequences of chasing yesterday.

VISCERA

A LIMINAL short · Days before CORRIDORS

VISCERA is a psychological science-fiction horror short set just a few days before the events of CORRIDORS. When D.O.C.E. launches its first human trial into a mysterious temporal rift, physicist Vincent Marcum watches helplessly as his friend James becomes the program's inaugural test subject. Promised exploration and discovery, James instead awakens in a version of reality where humanity appears absent.

As isolation gives way to terror, James begins uncovering the horrifying truth behind D.O.C.E.'s experiments and realizes he may not be alone.

Expanding the mythology of LIMINAL, VISCERA explores the origins of the empty world, the human cost of scientific ambition, and the first documented encounter with what lies beyond the rift.
