Night Hag

Coella can't sleep. She won't sleep. A presence grows closer every night in a state of sleep paralysis, but as long as she stays awake it will be okay, right? Unfortunately for her, nightmares can't always be avoided if they too exist in your wake.

Director Statement

My main goal as a young and aspiring film-maker is to share stories with a convincing depiction in order to gain perspective on just about anything or in other words, what intrigues and inspires me to produce films is the possibility of being able to learn the perspective of another, being able to create such a sense of immersion with my work that can show different aspects of life through different eyes, feelings, emotions, thoughts, possibilities or in this case narratives and creative means.
