DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
On May 28th, 2007, I watched my mom die. On October 21st, 2020, I found my dad dead in his room. In the last year, I have battled with depression, trauma, and the most unbearable never-ending pain that will not go away, but has only become more manageable each day. My vision for the film is for the audience to not only feel the despair and loss that I am currently feeling, but to also understand and accept it.
Overall, Dark Figures is a therapeutic film. It is for anyone who has ever experienced traumatic loss or grief, and the inability to understand or comprehend what they are going to. Grief is powerful emotion and my goal is use what I am going through to make this film.
