Alma’s Pond is the story of young Margaret, a frustrated twelve-year-old who’s run away to her Aunt Alma’s mountain cabin to escape her parents’ constant arguing. Together the two unravel the mystery behind an occurrence that haunts their family and is as heartbreaking to Alma as it is to Margaret.

This new supernatural thriller based on one of the most popular short stories from best-selling author Bruce Coville, joins the selection of short films competing at this year’s edition of the prestigious California-based international film festival taking place this November.
