When a forgotten scream queen is roped into her old co-star’s desperate comeback attempt, she must choose between exposing a painful truth or preserving the fragile life she’s built on its ruins. Swallows blends powerful narrative, comedy, and an original song to deliver an unforgettable deep dive into Hollywood’s casualties, faded glory, and the desperate search for relevance in an industry that devours its young.

Aging ‘90s heartthrob Brodie and his middle-aged girl band, The Swallows, are preparing to film a music video in their crumbling Valley McMansion when a buried secret threatens their fragile existence.
