The name of our company doesn’t relate to the kind of midnight screening where you wait in a long line for a new Star Wars movie. It’s about checking the stairs and listening out for creaks in the floorboards as you watch the movie you were supposed to turn off an hour ago at the lowest possible volume… and then once that movie’s over you start the next one. When we decided to commit ourselves to our love of filmmaking, it came from the sentiment that the inner child knows best, and Eliza and I have spent our whole lives being lame and working on little projects together. As you can see in this shoot, we haven't grown up much and have possible regressed.
Through our love of found footage and analog horror, Liz and I have been experimenting with different digital cameras. We had a look around the attic of our family house, and found our old Sony Handycam that I honestly don’t remember using or seeing much of. We made a short film about a hidden entity inside a house, with a lot of the film focusing on the threat lingering around the edge of frame. We go to get the video cassette tape developed, and alongside our processed 2024 horror short film is no less than what is essentially the exact same film made decades earlier in our grandparents house. That very footage of us sprinting around our grandparents bedroom and china cabinet is some of what you’re seeing in this video. Already there have been so many moments in this filmmaking journey that have felt like signs that we’re doing exactly what we’re supposed to be doing. I love regressing to childhood with my sisters, and I highly advocate that you go and make art like a dumb kid again.
