The first project to come out of the newly formed company will be a short supernatural horror film called Thoughtform. Set deep in the boonies of Nowheresville, Texas, the film is inspired by the unsolved mystery of a grieving North Texas mother who was found dead in her ranch house in 1994. The grisly story was discovered when ElfTree founders Ian McNeny and Joe Moralez were researching for their weekly podcast High-Dere. The strange and lonely story of Olivia Mabel struck a chord with the two Texas natives and the plan to tell her story on film was set in motion.

Screenwriter Martyn Eaden was brought in to help develop the story and to write the script, while fellow Texan filmmaker Shelby Cook was tapped as Cinematographer. As most of the story takes place on an isolated ranch at night, it was decided that the entire film should be shot on the Sony a7S II; a camera that is unparalleled for low-light sensitivity.
Over Thanksgiving, 2015, the team took a trip to Celina, Texas to scout locations bearing a resemblance to the original Mabel house. Over several cold and rainy days, the team shot test footage that became a teaser for the film.
