We Make Micro-Budget Films Feel Like Blockbusters.
Bold, emotionally charged genre films made with indie spirit and cinematic flair.
Who We Are
Welcome to Cosmic Wave Films, your home for indie genre film production that’s punchy, personal, and unapologetically original.
Based in Orlando, we’re a DIY film production house known for crafting award-winning short films in horror, sci-fi, and genre-bending narratives. From monster mayhem to emotionally raw character journeys, we specialize in cinematic storytelling that blends humor, heart, and handcrafted thrills.
Founded by filmmaking duo Angela Hamilton and Nick Marinucci, our catalog includes multiple shorts that have screened at Spooky Empire, Horrific Hope, Indie Horror Junkie at MegaCon, and more. Whether filmed in our own kitchen or on a virtual LED volume, we bring high-concept visuals and micro-budget innovation together to tell unforgettable stories.
Our commitment goes beyond the screen. We’re also passionate about building inclusive, collaborative sets where artists of all kinds can thrive. We write, direct, edit, and produce our films in-house, and our projects often explore themes like mental health, identity, and found family through the lens of genre filmmaking.
Whether you’re a fan, collaborator, or potential investor, you’re invited to dive into the Cosmic Wave. We’re pushing the boundaries of indie horror film production - and this is just the beginning.
