Director Statement

I chose to direct this film because I wanted to create a fun, crazy monster movie that was a throwback to horror movies from the 1980's. Because we only had a cast and crew of only two people, myself included, there were several challenges we had to overcome behind the scenes. We had to film and star in the film, we would constantly switch roles and act as either the gamer or the monster, and certain scenes required special effects that we had to create on the spot. While this film was very difficult to make, it was a great learning experience and I hope to make more films like this in the future.
