Director Statement

Completed on a micro-budget as my thesis film for SUNY Oswego's film undergraduate degree, LIVE.com updates the voyeurism of the classic slasher to the digital age. In the age of the internet, we're all "peeping Toms".

Scary stories used to be told around campfires, but now we listen to them, sitting in the glow of a screen instead of a fire. There's something about that experience, combined with the late nights that fostered it, that was deeply nostalgic to me, but also deeply strange.

LIVE is meant to evoke that strangeness. Grain, chromatic aberration, and vivid colors create a dream-like reality, just slightly out of step with our own. I sought to evoke both the comfort and dread of late nights, when you're just too tired to fall asleep.
