From the High Desert to the Big Screen: "Looking Up" Heading to BendFilm & EOFF This October

When you pour months of passion, technical precision, and creative vision into a short film, there is no better feeling than sharing it with a live audience on the big screen.

We are beyond thrilled to announce that our latest short film, "Looking Up," produced in collaboration with OPB's Oregon Field Guide, has been officially selected for two premier Pacific Northwest film festivals this October: BendFilm Festival and the Eastern Oregon Film Festival (EOFF)!

Bringing Interstellar Storytelling Back Home

From international recognition halfway across the world to screening in our own backyard, this project’s journey has been nothing short of surreal.

While our team produces commercial and documentary content across the globe, Central and Eastern Oregon remain the heartbeat of Wahoo Films. To be included in two of Oregon’s most celebrated film festivals—both dedicated to championing independent cinema and visionary storytellers—is an absolute honor.

Where & When to Catch Us This October

Keep your eyes on your festival schedules! Here is where our space-faring short will be hitting the big screen:

What Makes This Film Special?

Without giving away too much before the screenings, this short film blends cinematic visual effects with high-contrast, atmospheric storytelling. It’s built around the awe, tension, and sheer scale of a rocket launch—designed from the ground up for a high-end theatrical audio and visual experience.

When you see it in the theater, you won't just watch it—you’ll feel it.
