SYNOPSIS
A woman is lead down a path of dark decisions whilst befriended by an old possessed doll.
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
The Doll is a project that I wanted to direct because it allows me to dip my toes into darker, horror-adjacent stories whilst also allowing me to try new things from a visual perspective. It was a nice project to put together with zero budget and some friends over a weekend.
