TAMPA, FL — Cameras are officially rolling in Tampa and Clearwater on THE LAST TIME, a supernatural thriller written and directed by Tampa Bay native Shane Brady. The film brings an elevated, emotionally charged horror story to Florida’s Gulf Coast, with a cast led by Jake Satow as Hayden Malone, Chandler Riggs as Gabe, Dominic Burgess as Hugh, and Casper Van Dien as Vasilis.

​

The story follows Hayden, a gifted collegiate swimmer tormented by the tragic death of his twin sister, Halle. When a mysterious hourglass with the power to return the user to the last moments they shared with the dead resurfaces, Hayden and his friends are thrust into a spiraling collision of grief, obsession, and supernatural danger. Tampa’s own pirate legend becomes reimagined as a chilling new horror presence woven through the film’s mythology.​

STARRING A CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ENSEMBLE

The Last Time features a high-impact cast bringing emotional weight and genre presence:

​

• Jake Satow as Hayden Malone — an elite swimmer descending into a chilling confrontation with grief and guilt.

• Chandler Riggs as Gabe — Hayden’s fast-talking best friend, a paranormal enthusiast who documents Tampa’s legends.

• Dominic Burgess as Hugh — a charismatic but unsettling ghost-tour guide, whose knowledge of Tampa’s supernatural history becomes increasingly ominous.

• Casper Van Dien as Vasilis — a hardened figure connected to the mysterious hourglass, adding intensity and gravitas to the lore.

 

The ensemble brings together rising talent and genre veterans to elevate the film’s emotional and supernatural stakes.

A CINEMATIC LOVE LETTER TO TAMPA BAY

The film showcases a wide range of Tampa and Clearwater locations, including:

• Ybor City’s historic corridors

• The University of South Florida

• The Hillsborough River and Tampa waterfront

• Gasparilla celebrations and coastal bridges

• Clearwater’s beaches and neighborhoods
   

Brady’s script embraces the area’s cultural identity—from Cuban cafés and pirate festivals to waterfront communities and university life—leveraging each as a key cinematic element rather than simple background.
 

A HOMETOWN PRODUCTION

Writer-director Shane Brady, whose roots run deep in Tampa Bay, has emphasized that the film’s identity is inseparable from the region. “Tampa isn’t just where the story takes place—it’s why the story works,” Brady has shared with collaborators during development. “The people, the culture, the legends… this is a true Tampa film.”

COMING SOON

THE LAST TIME is currently in principal photography across Tampa and Clearwater. Additional casting, production notes, and release details will be announced in the coming months.
