DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Since I was little, I've always loved horror. As I got older and was allowed to watch things I shouldn't have watched, my love for horror grew, as did my passion for filmmaking. My problem was that I didn't just want to make the usual slasher flick or haunted house throwback, so I decided to bring in some more personal elements into my scripts. Sprouting from my experiences with anxiety over the years, as well as observing the increasingly popular culture of selfies and obsession with physical appearances, I came up with the base for my film and my character, Danielle. Although there has been a growing awareness towards removing the stigmas people have with mental illness and one's physical appearance, these issues and pressures people deal with are still out there. Now, the trick was making something that touched on these feelings and experiences, while still entertaining the audience. So, throw in some blood, a ghost, and some very sharp objects... And that's how "Cover-Up" was born.
