About the job

I’m an independent horror and mystery writer developing a short film adaptation of one of my published stories. I’m looking for a director with a strong sense of atmosphere, visual tension, and character-driven storytelling. The project is intended for festival circulation (Screamfest, Shriekfest, Fantastic Fest). I value collaboration, clarity, and a cinematic eye. Ideal candidates have experience in indie horror, psychological thrillers, or atmospheric genre work.

I'm very interested in this project. I'm especially drawn to atmospheric, character-driven horror where tension is built through performance, visual language, and psychological suspense rather than spectacle. I'd love the opportunity to discuss how I could help.
