Female-led psychological horror ‘Shed’ wraps production in Nashville with Amanda Righetti, William Mapother and Spencer Locke among cast
Production recently finished in Tennessee on the feature written and starring Valerie Jane Parker, directed by Mila Vilaplana, with additional cast including Amanda Righetti, William Mapother and Spencer Locke.
A female-led psychological horror feature titled Shed has wrapped production in Nashville, Tennessee, according to Deadline. The film, which centers on isolation and dread, is written by and stars Valerie Jane Parker, and is directed by Mila Vilaplana.
Deadline reports that the cast for Shed includes Amanda Righetti, known for The Mentalist, as well as William Mapother, known for Lost, and Spencer Locke, known for Insidious: The Last Key. The outlets says Righetti, Mapother and Locke are among the ensemble joining Parker in the project.
The Deadline report describes Shed as following Becca, “a successful but emotionally isolated” young woman. The premise positions the character’s personal detachment as a key element of the story’s psychological horror framework.
Deadline’s casting and production report also ties the project to Nashville’s local production activity, noting that filming completed there rather than being staged entirely in another market. The wrap in Nashville marks the end of the on-location phase for the movie’s current production cycle.
Valerie Jane Parker is credited in the Deadline report both as writer and lead actor. Mila Vilaplana is credited as director. The pairing reflects the project’s creative control, with Parker serving as both the film’s authorship and its on-screen focal point, and Vilaplana overseeing the film’s direction.
Beyond the Nashville wrap and the announced cast, Deadline’s report does not provide additional release timing or distribution details. Those elements, along with final character assignments for the listed cast members, are not specified in the information provided.
With production concluded, the next phase for Shed will move into post-production, which typically includes editing, sound design, visual effects where needed, and music clearance and licensing. Public-facing information about those steps was not included in the Deadline report.
Why It Matters
- A Nashville production wrap can affect local labor and services tied to on-location filming, including crews, rentals, and regional vendors.
- The announced cast links the project to actors with established mainstream genre visibility, which can influence audience expectations and marketing choices for the eventual release.
- Because the film is written by and led by Parker and directed by Vilaplana, the project’s creative structure may shape how the final film is positioned to audiences at launch.
- Post-production and release planning will determine when the public can access the film and whether it takes a festival or theatrical path, details not included in the current reporting.
