Director Statement

Alone is our feature directorial debut. My wife Mandi Mellen and I (Dan Salem) created Alone as a fresh take on the horror and thriller genres. Our film takes place entirely in one location, is told non-linearly, and embodies the disturbing feeling of truly being alone. Set during the pandemic, we unleash Black Boots, our homage to Michael Myers, upon our hero Felicia. He is both real and in her head, pulling the strings of paranoia throughout the story. We hope you enjoy Alone as much as we enjoyed making it! Its an indie film we know you'll love. Thank you.
