Filmmaker Statement

This story is something that has been percolating in my head for the better part of the last decade and I am so excited to be able to finally share it. I've always been a fan of horror and comedy and love the opportunity to play in that genre space. These characters feel like another family to me (not sure if that's something I should be proud of) and we had a great time shaping them throughout the development of this project. This short is also a proof of concept and functions as the opening scene to an accompanying feature film script that deals with the consequences of the short film's climax. We hope to be able to make this expanded piece in the future to continue the journey of the Riley Family.
