The Hunger Games co-stars are working on the short film for Canon’s Project Imagination: The Trailer, which is a user-generated creative experiment, featuring a winning consumer-submitted trailer was selected by Ron Howard and Josh to inspire the short film.

The Rusted is a psychological thriller that tells the story of a brother and sister who begin renovating their childhood home into a recording studio, when strange happenings force them to face memories of the past.

“Being part of Canon’s Project Imagination and working with Ron, Kat [Candler, writer], and now Jena have really allowed me to express my passion for storytelling,” Josh said in a statement. “I’m excited to bring the vision to life as a producer on the project and acting opposite a dear friend.”
