SYNOPSIS
A night watchman is startled by a detected motion on his security screen. His investigation leads to an eerie encounter.
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
With Borrowed Light, I wanted to create an atmospheric horror film that draws its power from quiet intensity, silence, and isolation. The light we “borrow” symbolizes the things we cannot control. The fragile boundary between safety and darkness.
I’m not here to explain the world. I want to make movies that are fun. My thing is horror: pure entertainment, suspense, and goosebumps.
DIRECTOR BIO
Born in 1985, he studied Film and Television in Berlin and has worked on several projects within the German film industry. Borrowed Light is his sixth short film, and his first feature film is scheduled to shoot in 2026.
