Shadows
A young man finds himself being tormented by a supernatural entity while alone in his house. (More on the film's site: http://www.congestedcat.com/shadows) Director Statement The idea for Shadows was born out of a conversation that I had with Christina and Kelsey, where the discussion somehow segued into me opening up about a certain incident in my life. I later found myself mulling over this traumatic experience again, but from a different perspective. I thought it’d be not only artistically gratifying, but genuinely therapeutic to unpack and explore this experience through genre. That’s when I decided that I was going to write a supernatural horror about this subject matter. Before that conversation had taken place, I hadn’t opened up about this matter to anyone. It was brushed under the rug and became a repressed memory. It was fascinating to revisit this experience, and, when talking to Christina, realized that you don’t see these kinds of stories told often in narrative film from the lens of boys and young men. It felt important to tell my story, even if it wasn’t in an overt fashion where the social issue is obvious. I also liked the idea of telling a story that, if one chose to look into it, would understand the themes being presented… but that someone could also enjoy as a straight forward horror. -Ryan Kramer
