This was my first experience adapting a story into a screenplay. I wanted the film to retain its literary origins, so we chose to preserve the voiceovers and structure the scenes around them. Rather than conventional horror, the story is more of a supernatural drama that explores a wide range of human emotions, which is what initially drew me to it. Working on this project also taught me the importance of light and shadow, particularly the expressive potential of shadows, and how they could be used deliberately to build an eerie atmosphere. The production itself was demanding, a two night overnight shoot in the mountains. Despite the challenges, I remain very proud of what we were able to accomplish together as a team.
