Director Biography - Michael Gilbertie

My name is Michael Gilbertie, and I'm an amateur Filmmaker from Glastonbury, Connecticut. Over the years I've made short films in many different genres, ranging from horror to comedy. I've been an editor, a producer, a writer, an actor, and even a stuntman, but I've mainly taken on the role of a Director.

Director Statement

This film I made on a whim by myself in my basement over night when I was 15. This is by far the most professional looking film I've made, but honestly that's not saying much. Hope people have fun watching it and I hope it gives them a good scare.
