Director Statement

I wrote the concept for "Cemetery Games" during my time in Grad School as part of a class assignment where I had to develop film concepts across various genres. I was so passionate about the concept that I wrote the short film in a single night. After discussing the idea with my Producer, Keilee Bentley, we swiftly moved into production within two months.

The casting process was an easy one, and our lead actresses Charlotte Pulley, Rachel Douma, and Hannah Rebecca Allen were not only incredibly talented but also a pleasure to collaborate with. Working with them was a director's dream - they were professional, well-prepared, and brought a positive energy to the set.

Despite filming during the coldest weekend of winter, both the cast and our dedicated crew persevered to create something truly special. This project holds a special place in our hearts as it marked our first film production post-Pandemic.
