Director Statement

“Butcheress” is born from my fascination with narratives that explore the darker, more intimate side of human nature, the part we try to hide, yet pulses beneath the surface. It tells the story of a seemingly ordinary nurse who harbors an unconfessable desire: to devour human flesh. This is not merely a disturbing thriller: it is a dive into the shadows that dwell within each of us, exploring the many forms of hunger. Not only gluttony and cannibalism, but also that silent voracity of the watching eye: the unsettling curiosity of the neighbor, the desire to consume another’s life without ever being satisfied. This multiplicity of hungers, crossing both body and imagination, reveals how the need to devour goes far beyond flesh.

Visually, I want to work with radical contrasts and create an atmosphere that provokes both fascination and repulsion at once: like staring at a disturbing painting you cannot look away from.

My connection to the story lies in the restlessness with which I observe the human condition: we are civilized, yet driven by desires that often cannot be spoken aloud. The Butcheress embodies this paradox.

Butcheress is not just a horror story: it is a mirror.
