**“Vessel” by Sheldon A. Woodson Nomination: Best Horror** Among the standout entries in this year’s Lonely Wolf International Film Festival is “Vessel,” a Best Horror nominee that masterfully blends supernatural terror with psychological depth. Directed, written, and produced by the multi-talented Sheldon A. Woodson, this feature film follows Marcus Surgeons (portrayed with nuanced intensity by Joshua Christian-Azali), a man whose unusual ability to channel the recently deceased takes a sinister turn. Woodson’s deft storytelling weaves a chilling narrative that explores the consequences of meddling with forces beyond our understanding. The film is further elevated by strong supporting performances from Mya Richardson and Vanessa Dehesa-Woodson, who bring additional layers to this haunting tale. With its innovative premise and skillful execution, “Vessel” showcases Woodson’s prowess as a filmmaker and cements its place as a must-see in the festival’s horror lineup.
