With the screenplay complete, the Mind's Eye Theatre Horror Short Film "What Happened to Kate?" has officially entered production at RPL Privateer. Things work differently in the legacy industry, but Development in the RPL sense refers to those processes that occur before pre-production begins. During this phase, the Director, Director of Photography, Sound Designer, Film Scorer, VFX Supervisor and Editor (the core creative and production team in our workflow) work together to lock in the aesthetic of the film. It may involve early casting and location - but it is not yet pre-production, when cast and crew are invited into the project, signing their non-disclosures and contracts.

Early planning shows Kate will most likely enter principal photography during the Winter of 2026. Updates will be sent to the Club first, but will be reported here.
