Director's Statement
In this collaboration with Camelia Dee and Bella Santos, I sought to blur the line between horror fantasy and reality. The nightmares which haunt the main character are all too real and disturbingly familiar for women around the world. Only through recognition of this perspective can we as a society make changes over time and perhaps one day a woman will be able to walk down a city street alone at night without feeling like she’s an unwitting character in a horror film.
