Director Statement

OUCHIE grew from our writer Jeanette Wall's creative and enthusiastic energy about the horror genre. So when they approached me with this script, a personal exercise that was a new adventure for them, I knew I wanted to honor it and bring it to life.

OUCHIE’s relevant message was approached by a diverse group of creatives with an understanding of the power of horror. The empathic, safe and fun environment created on set is very much reflected in the final product, something that we are all incredibly proud of.
