Director Statement

I found the inspiration for A Mile in Your Skin from my love for 80's and 90's horror films and slashers. My goal was to create a short that mimicked the cold open from one of those films with distinct style and cinematography. The biggest challenge in making this film was the time allotted to do it. We shot the entirety of the film in one night starting at 7pm and ending at 5am. The cast, crew and I were all exhausted but managed to keep the energy on set all throughout the night.
