Dalton Snider-Smith has worked in the television and film industry for over five years, as a director, DP, camera assistant, camera loader, assistant director, and production assistant.
Her first film, "Fantasy Master" went on to screen at 14 festivals and get nominated for 3, 1 of which it won. She has a passion for horror, and a habit of having weird dreams, which she writes from.
This screenplay was based on a dream I had years ago, form the perspective of a ten year old Victorian era boy. I modernized it, practicalized it for a story and for production, and it grew into so much more. It delves into the world of familial neglect and the feeling of the need to prove yourself. While writing it, I had several friends do a dramatic reading, and none of us slept that night!
