Directed by Zoe Quist, GLITCHED tells the story of two young siblings who are tasked with saving the family's struggling finances. By turning their grandmother's crumbling castle into an interactive AirBnB experience, they believe that they can turn their fortunes around. However, in doing so, they unlock an ancient (and debonair) 18th-Century presence who is determined to find his lady love, enlisting the family's unlikely cast of characters to help him in the process.

GLITCHED premieres at La Femme Film Festival on October 17th, 2025.
