DIRECTOR STATEMENT
I made "Screen Her" for a Guerilla Short Film competition, the question driving the competition was: "What scares you?" Im not terrified by much, however, losing my relationship at a weak point would be terrifying. So I took that idea and exaggerated it. The film's meat was shot in one night, while everything on the TV was shot the day before on HI-8. We had an extremely small crew and almost no budget, it was messy and fun! We came out of the competition with an award and were the only student project to do so.
