I had always wanted to work in film, but for various reasons the timing wasn’t right. I chose graphic design as a career path, but film was always my first love.<\/strong>
\nWhen I got laid off from a large IT company, I used part of my severance pay to fund this short.<\/strong>
\nI had a tiny budget, so I needed something small, but my imagination wanted something big!<\/strong>
\nThe location came first – a tiny hidden room in an old textile factory. It was too cinematic to pass up and was the perfect “locked room” for some kind of showdown.<\/strong>
\nI came up with the concept of a young girl tormenting her abuser, and pushed that concept as far as I thought I could, and then managed to push it further.<\/strong>
\nSometimes the space dictates the story it wants told.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And then on shoot-day, the space flooded and half the roof caved in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fortunately I had a great gaffer on-board who made sure everything was safe (once the waters receded).<\/strong>
\nWe all nervously joked about the subject matter and the flooding, and hoped things wouldn’t get worse.<\/strong>
\nWe were lucky, and even though we only had a half-day left to shoot, we still managed to make something cool.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not exactly what I expected, and post took a couple of years (I did the cockroach segments myself) but I’m proud of what we accomplished, and I hope you enjoy it!<\/strong><\/p>\n
