Director Statement

I actually came up with this story in 2012. As a young ambitious filmmaker at the time, I just simply grabbed my flip-cam and a friend, and we went up to our local mountains and started shooting without a script. Needless to say it did not come out as expected, given mostly because of one reason, inexperience. Now with much more education and mileage behind the lens, I came back to tackle this story and doing it the right way. I wrote a killer script, hired some real actors out of Hollywood, and got myself an extremely talented composer. And now this short thriller hits the audience with a rollercoaster ride of horror and creepieness which was many years ago attempted, but now achieved.
