Director Statement

When I took producing class, this concept was in my mind. I've always been a fan of thriller and sci-fi films, which is original, the genre of this film. I decided to make it horror and thriller to practice my visual storytelling since I'm used to writing short films with dialogues.

I remember my grandmother's story when she was still alive. She saw my aunt going downstairs in the middle of the night and suddenly disappeared. However, my aunt is actually sleeping in her room. At that moment, I learned what a doppelganger is. Several days after that, my grandmother suffered from stroke.

Based on mythology, bad luck will come to you when you meet or see a doppelganger. It became my inspiration to create such a concept. I want to make the audience feel the creeps without dialogue but with visuals and sounds.
