Fun Facts
Hunting Matthew Nichols (2026) blends found-footage horror with a mockumentary format, following Tara Nichols (Miranda MacDougall), whose brother Matthew vanished with friend Jordan Reimer on Halloween 2001 in northern Vancouver Island's forests.
Twenty-three years later, Tara hires filmmaker Markian Tarasiuk (playing himself) to document her investigation into the unsolved case, uncovering the boys' obsession with local cannibal frontiersman legends and satanic woodland rituals via recovered VHS footage and talismans.
Tarasiuk's directorial debut (co-written with Sean Harris Oliver) features Ryan Alexander McDonald, Christine Willes (Pam Hamilton), Jay Hindle (Randall Nichols), and Trevor Carroll in the 89-minute thriller that premiered at 2024 festivals like Newport Beach and Whistler.
