Director Statement

Making this my second short film to direct got me excited. I always enjoyed creepy slasher/home invasion films like The Strangers (2008). It was a great opportunity working with a young upcoming talented cast and crew. Cinematography and Music is so important to me. I was very fortunate to work an amazing experienced DOP and Composer. Our production team put a lot of hard work in this project and everyone got along together on set. We were lucky to raise close to $2k for this project by hosting a campaign on Indiegogo. It was challenging to make this film at times but I'm proud with how it all came together for the final product. We hope all judges and viewers of festivals enjoy our creation!
