Director Statement

This project was a labour of love for me. "The Forsaken" was a concept I had written several years ago, but never had the means, experience or skill to take it from the page to the screen. I am a great believer in achieving everything in camera. Myself, my Cinematographer Kaylee Sellars and Production Designer Adam A. Losurdo strived to ensure that the film would carry an authentic look and believability to this fairytale realm the film is based around. Hopefully we have managed to translate that to the screen.
