SYNOPSIS
Nelia, a passionate horror podcast host, ventures into a horror maze to gather material for her next episode. But as the clock strikes midnight, the maze transforms into a deadly nightmare, and the horrors she once narrated come alive. Trapped and hunted, Nelia must fight to survive the evil that lurks within.
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
I’m a huge horror fan myself, and I firmly believe that the horror genre works exceptionally well for short films. As a cinematographer, which is also my primary profession, I find horror to be an incredibly exciting
genre because it allows for so much creativity with light, shadow, and sound design. You can engage the audience’s imagination without having to show everything explicitly. In general, I strongly advocate for producing more genre films, especially horror films, in Germany. Unfortunately, very few horror films
are made here, which I find hard to understand.
DIRECTOR BIO
My name is Micky Graeter, I graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in "Film and Television" (Cinematography). Since 2017 I'm studying cinematography at the HFF Munich. I started to be interested in films at the age of five. When I was 12, I got my own little camera and started to make short films with friends. At the age of 19 I produced my application short film ("Aussichtslos") for a film school and began my studies. Besides interning at ARRI in 2014/2015, I got the chance to intern on Roland Emmerich's "Independence Day 2". Since 2016 I am a freelance cinematographer.
