<h2>Editor - Brian Philip Davis</h2> <p><em>Hokum </em>editor Brian Philip Davis teams up once more with director Damian McCarthy. Prior to this film the two joined forces to craft McCarthy's supernatural thriller, <em>Oddity</em>. This time out, they double down on the dread and jack up the jump scares to keep audiences on the edge of, and often a few feet above, their seats.<br /> <br /> Written and directed by Damian McCarthy, <em>Hokum</em> stars Adam Scott as novelist Ohm Bauman. When Bauman retreats to a remote inn to scatter his parents' ashes, he's consumed by tales of a witch that haunts the honeymoon suite. Soon, disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance force him to confront dark corners of his past.</p> <h4>BRIAN PHILIP DAVIS</h4> <div data-ogsc="rgb(49, 49, 49)"> <div class="image-title-wrapper"> <div class="image-title sqs-dynamic-text" data-animation-override= "" data-width-percentage="31.8"> <p class="">Brian Philip Davis is known for his work in genre cinema, with films showcased at major festivals including Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, TIFF, FrightFest, and Fantastic Fest.
