Director Statement

I am a director who is not restricted by genre - genre for me is and exciting concept. I love the ability to experience different stories, themes and styles that each unique genre enables. My last film "Inquest of Desire" (2015) was well received in many festivals due to it's story and heavy stylised film noir influences. My aim with Fear The Unknown Men, is to share another example of experimentation within a classic genre and to reach a whole new generation of movie-goers.
