Director Statement

My goal with Doll Parts was to create a short horror story incorporating slight comedic elements while maintaining a tense, uneasy atmosphere.

As a child, I was always scared of my dolls at night and feared they would move around when I turned off the lights. This film is inspired by all the times I was afraid their blank little plastic eyes were staring back at me in the dark.
