Director Statement

Do you remember those nights as a kid staying up late to watch TV? You were always excited to watch into the wee hours of the night until you were faced with something awful...Turning out the lights and going to bed. Once the lights were all out you had to make the trip back to your room in pitch darkness. Obviously your mind plays tricks on you in that time and Eyes of Shadow is all about that feeling we've all had once that last light switch flips.
