Director's Statement
I wrote this film in 2025, watching the country get better at turning people against each other. That's the monster. Not a thing in the woods. A force that studies what you love and uses it as the blade. We shot it in twelve days at our home in Central Texas with a crew that treated a microbudget as a constraint, not an excuse. Kesha produced. I directed. Every dollar is on the screen. This is the first story in a bigger world, and we made it the way we'll make all of them. On time. On budget. Ours.
