Director Statement

My aim is to explore certain aspects of gender dynamics in today’s society through my own twist of the “Killer Inanimate Object” horror sub-genre. Whilst paying tribute to the 70s Slasher and Italian Giallo films, I would love to take my audience on ride of over-the-top horror fun.
