Directing

A camping trip takes a turn when a group of friends tell a ghost story--- only to realize they're being hunted by someone, or something, in the woods. As they try to survive the night, they discover the killer is closer than they think.

Director Statement

When I set out to make Nightfall's End, since it was my first time directing, my primary goal was to have fun with the process and embrace the artistic and unpredictable side of filmmaking. The story was intentionally loose, giving actors freedom to explore their characters, and allowing the story to form organically. I leaned into a tone of 'suspension of disbelief,' making sure to include moments that, while a bit outlandish, engaged the audience. The goal was never to create a perfectly polished horror film, but to explore the chaotic process of filmmaking,

Ultimately, Nightfall's End was the best first directing experience I could have asked for. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best things happen when you let go of rigid expectations and allow the process to unfold in its own way. I am incredibly proud of how the film turned out and how it reflects the energy and spirit of the team who made it possible.
