DIRECTOR STATEMENT
As the writer and director, I wanted to create a story that spoke to me. I’m a huge horror fan and I hate when horror movies are predictable, so when I write my stories, I try to be original as possible. I’m a huge fan of Ari Aster and his films Hereditary and Midsommar. I believe he is the mastermind at making the most uncomfortable things visually beautiful, and I get great inspiration from that. My hope for this film is to really shock the audience and gradually grow the anticipation and suspense throughout, especially with the turn at the end. Since this is the first short film that I am writing, directing, and producing, I hope the audience will see it as a beautiful, but shocking horrific film.
