Program Note

A writer, Susan, is going through a hard time. She arrives at her friend’s vacation home where she finds strangers in the house, with secrets. Susan is not one to turn away from the pain of others, so how can she find rest? The shocking suggestion of the film is horrifying and leaves a long-lasting impression. (LEE Dongyun)

Alex FOFONOFF

Alex Fofonoff is a L.A.-based filmmaker who’s always been captivated by the feeling of dread. Despite the risk of nightmares, as a kid he’d watch monster movies late into the night. Growing up in a community theater run by his Mom, his interest eventually turned towards filmmaking where he cultivated this sense of doom in his Civil War era short Kingdom Coming and his New York City revenge movie Blood and Thunder. Most recently, his short film While Mortals Sleep was invited to screen at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. His voice in filmmaking, inspired by the New Hollywood movement and arthouse horror, subverts genres and twists reality.
