Director Statement

I never thought I could or would make a horror film. But 2020 has been year of so much anxiety that it lead to the worst sleep of my life. I absolutely dreaded every night trying to find ways to go to sleep and stay asleep. I tried dozens of remedies, but I would always end up waking up almost every two hours having to be alone in the dark with my depressing thoughts. These unhealthy nights lead to unhealthy days. At some point I finally had the energy to make a film that I hope displays the dread of night.
