Joe Bandelli has built a career in indie horror as a writer, director, producer, and actor, best known for producing and portraying the terrifying clown in the Hell House LLC franchise. His credits include writing and directing the horror documentary Unknown Dimension: The Story of Paranormal Activity (Paramount+), the horror-comedy Another Cabin in the Woods Movie (Tubi), and producing the horror film 825 Forest Road (Shudder). Drawing from his Egyptian, Assyrian, and Italian heritage, Joe brings diverse and inclusive perspectives to every story he tells.

The Sequence explores grief, isolation, and the quiet dangers of emotional disconnection in the digital age, asking what happens when we stop turning to each other and start seeking comfort in silence or screens. It follows Taylor (Katie Parker), who wakes from a horrifying dream in which she poisons her entire family, only to find the nightmare may not be over when she wakes. As her day unfolds with chilling echoes of her vision, Taylor races to prevent her dream from becoming a terrifying reality.
