Consummation
Walking amidst Eden with its lush green foliage, Adam and Eve discover a dock and a lake in the depths of the overgrown Earth. Upon exploring, the two discover that the lake brings a more sinister meaning to their journey, forcing Eve into ritualistic release and sacrifice where blood is shed and the ego is reborn.

Van Galex is a Florida-based filmmaker with connections to Tampa, Orlando, and Miami. Striving to unnerve audiences with his films, Galex implements elements heavily inspired by the avant-garde techniques of Theatre of Cruelty. With a BFA in Narrative Film Production from the University of Central Florida, Galex has written, directed, edited, sound designed, and produced a Technicolor Horror Nightmare [Don't Answer] and a hauntingly beautiful Folklore Tale [Consummation].
Within Galex's work, one embarks upon a journey that meticulously torments. The objective is to create immersive experiences that provoke introspection. Take a moment to sit with yourself, and ponder upon your role in these dark works. As a voyeur, you find yourself peering into the lives of these tormented individuals - but in doing so, how are you contributing to their suffering? How does your mere presence become an accomplice to their actions? The act of immersing oneself in a film transports. Defy passive consumption. Allow yourself to be consumed by the visceral, the profound, and the disturbing.
An experience down the Art House Horror rabbit hole. Embark on the Adam and Eve story inspired by Belarusian Folklore. Ripe with blood, ritual, and sacrifice, partake in the massacre of one's love and the drive for one's faith.
