A Place Called Clayhill

A DHMIS short film that premiered in 2019 at the Sundance Film Festival and was originally pitched as a pilot of Pelling, Sloan, and Terry's 2022 TV show. Though, feeling the Clayhill setting made the series too similar to South Park, and came at the cost of the claustrophobia of the original series, it was scrapped and since been removed from festival circulation. The tester was only shared in a few private premieres, but clips have turned up online over the years.
