@@JamAshleyFilms for real!
This is incredible, genuinely. I'm not sure where your specific influences come from stylistically, but I see a lot of Robert Eggers here, and the creepy choral soundtrack parts reminded me a lot of Jordan Peele's stuff. But this is so original, so much more than that, I don''t want anyone to take that away from you. Bravo!
