Director Statement

Inflatio is a dark thriller fueled by revenge by an unknown captor. Heavily influenced by the look of Seven, it was designed to be an exercise in tension building and audience reaction. It combines elements that I love to experience in a film; tension, emotion, shock/horror, surprise and the bizarre.

Inflatio is a story that I have wanted to tell for the pure fun of it and I was lucky to have an incredible cast and crew that wanted to take the ride with me. The film features exquisite production design, stylish cinematography, sharp acting with tension and emotion, along with an original score and sound design. Inflatio does what it was designed to do. Entertain!
