About the Film

Building Six Archives: Into the Darkness is a Barbadian horror-drama that redefines the zombie genre through a Caribbean lens. Set on an island torn apart by the fallout of a failed medical experiment, the film explores how government secrecy, corporate greed, and broken systems can bring even the most beautiful places to their knees. At the heart of the story is a diverse local cast of first-time actors and rising talents who bring raw, emotional depth to their roles. These survivors aren’t superheroes—they’re everyday Bajans: nurses, students, security guards—thrust into a nightmare they never asked for. Their performances ground the film in real Barbadian life, culture, and dialect, offering a powerful counterpoint to the chaos unfolding around them. Shot entirely on location in Barbados, Into the Darkness is a grassroots production born from community, creativity, and necessity. With limited resources but a passionate team, the film was made possible through late nights, volunteer crews, and a shared vision to tell a story that speaks not just to fear, but to resilience, resistance, and the will to survive.

More than just a horror film, Building Six Archives: Into the Darkness is a reflection on how quickly society can unravel—and who we become when it does.

Writer Brandon Atherley From a young I had a love for watching TV. Any kind of action, sci-fi, fantasy, adventure and comedy film or series. However, cartoons were my favorite. Watching them inspired and molded me into storytelling. Whether it be writing short stories for school or doing presentations in university. As I grew older my creativity soared and my mind with it, putting pencil to paper and fleshing out these ideas. Then came the turning point, and I took the opportunity to do a film workshop. It is in the workshop I learned the art of screenwriting. This was the beginning of longest, toughest, rollercoaster marathon in my life… but the most

exciting, thrilling, and rewarding.
