An independent genre film that was already turning heads on the festival circuit is giving horror fans an early look before it hits the biggest streaming platform. Studio Dome‘s PROJECT CHILD: PERFECT KNIGHT is available now for early-access rental on BloodStream TV, ahead of its release on Amazon Prime Video on Tuesday, December 1, 2026. The science fiction, action and horror feature is written, directed and produced by Robin Deeter and Damian C. King for PSY Spark Productions, and produced by Rob Mulligan. The film’s official trailer can be viewed here, and horror fans can rent the film now at Bloodstream.TV.
The film follows Julia Perryman (Rebecca Stoughton), who has spent five years running from the death of her younger sister, killed by a demon. She channels that grief into training as an agent of the Directorate, a covert order that hunts human souls corrupted by a powerful force, using a soul-powered ability called the Psyspark. Her mentor, Derek Knowall (Robin Deeter), is everything she is not: measured, loyal and unshakeable.
On her first real mission, Julia defies orders and rescues a young girl marked for death. That single act of mercy sets a conspiracy in motion and puts her back in the path of Abraxas, the demon that killed her sister. As Julia discovers her own abilities, she begins to question the Directorate’s cardinal rule, sacrifice the few for the many, and its belief that every corrupted soul is a threat to be eliminated. And as Julia and Derek fall for each other, that same rule forces Derek to choose between the woman he loves and the order he has devoted his life to. It is a story about grief, justice, mercy and the cost of choosing duty over love, told under the film’s tagline: We Fall Only to Rise.
The cast is led by Rebecca Stoughton, recently highlighted by People and Deadline as one of the most notable stars working in vertical drama today. Her more than 40 vertical drama titles have drawn over 614 million views on ReelShort, DramaBox and similar platforms. Stoughton is joined by Robin Deeter, as well as Damian C. King and Jack Pearson, who together have appeared in more than 200 feature, web and television projects, along with vertical drama favorites Kalinda Grey, Kaitlin Sanders and Emily Gately. The ensemble also includes Eric Parham, Charlit Dae, Sai Yang, Elizabeth Navello and Sebla Demi.
Also worth a look: Freestyle Digital Media picks up romantic comedy ‘Noli & Owen Are Fine’ about a pact that backfires and Mackenson Thomas helps families preserve baby’s first memories in new keepsake book.
Deeter, who was born in Korea and adopted by an American family at age seven, is an award-recognized actor, writer and director whose background spans musical theater and songwriting. King has more than 35 credits as a producer and director and has created hundreds of episodes, features and shorts for web and television that have reached hundreds of millions of viewers. Together they built the world of the Directorate, the Psyspark and the mysterious entity Ikol as original IP with room to grow into sequels and series storytelling.
The action-driven production draws on martial-arts and sword-fighting disciplines, with that training required for multiple roles, including the lead. Behind the camera, the film’s department heads include cinematographer Alex Raaen, composer Michael Rubino and editor Matt Pavlo.
On the festival circuit, PROJECT CHILD: PERFECT KNIGHT was a 2026 semifinalist for Best Feature at Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival, and won Best Director for Deeter and King, as well as Best Editing, at the 2026 Hollywood International Diversity Film Festival.
“We wanted to make a genre film with real emotional stakes. Julia and Derek are fighting demons, but the hardest battle is the one between love and duty. Having the film available now on BloodStream and on Amazon on December 1 means audiences everywhere can finally step into this world with us,” said actor, writer, director and producer Robin Deeter.
“Project Child pulls you in with supernatural action, but it stays with you because of Julia’s choice: destroy the corrupted or believe they can be saved. That conflict gives the film a heart beneath the spectacle, and it’s exactly the kind of independent genre storytelling we want to champion,” said David Josh Lawrence, Head of Acquisitions at Studio Dome.

Why it matters: This early-access strategy on BloodStream TV gives indie horror a chance to build buzz before a major platform launch, a model that could help smaller genre films find audiences outside the festival circuit. With a lead actress who has already amassed over 614 million views in vertical drama, the film also highlights how streaming stardom is crossing over into traditional feature filmmaking.
