A Little Dead

The mind is the single most powerful attribute that any of us has, but occasionally when we advance in age it can begin to slip. Sometimes it can slip by what it interprets as reality, sometimes we lose our memory, and sometimes we see what we want (or don’t want) to see.

A Little Dead is a suspense wrapped drama that, at its core, is a metaphor for the monster that is dementia. Sometimes advancing more quickly because of life events, it usually starts with the memories on the edge of the mind and works its way inward until it’s gone altogether.

Birthed from the viewpoint of actual events that transpired, I set out to make a story that explored the uncertainty of what elderly people go through when they advance in age, but with a supernatural twist.

Is the monster real, or is it all in Grandpa’s mind? The answer is: it is exactly what you want it to be, and that’s the beauty of this film. You can leave telling your friends you just watched a horror film, or a drama; it’s all in the eye of the beholder.
