Director Statement

KC Allen: We had a limited time to make the film and a limited length the movie could be. We spend 2 days filming, a week editing and two weeks working on the surround sound design. All of the sounds came from the house in which we filmed. It was a magnificent location, so much so that I'm saddened that someone actually lives there now. I'm very grateful for the exposure this film has gotten, and I look forward to creating a feature based on its premise.

TJ Cooley: I love the creation process in directing a movie. I love to see the character dawn on the actor, when they realize just who the characters are, and it becomes them. I’ve never been enamored with the idea that the director is in control of the movie, that the movie begins and ends with the thoughts and will of the director. I think the director is the catalyst that gets it all rolling and with enough energy and love, it grows to have a life of its own. The crew, the talent, and lastly the audience all participate in helping it flourish.
