    About the Director(s):
    Brendan is a Colorado native, but has called Los Angeles home since 2009. He is a working commercial director specializing in performance heavy, cinematic and stylized comedy, dark comedy and horror. Narrative remains his main creative passion so he shoots short films in between commercial gigs.
    He's making a concerted effort to transition into film/TV so he is currently pitching several feature screenplays that he also plans on directing. "THE LOOKOUT", his most recent screenplay, is a tense and contained horror thriller taking place In the shadow of a looming nuclear threat. A disenfranchised young woman attempts to escape modern society by taking a job at a remote fire lookout tower. In her newfound solitude, chilling events force her to question her own sanity and reality itself. See a teaser for the script here - vimeo.com/357413743
    Brendan currently lives in Santa Monica with his newborn son (and future horror fan), wife and dog. When he's not directing, he can be found beating the drums or scrambling around the mountains and deserts of California.

    This writer obviously understands the depth & darkness of a creative soul, the compulsion to create their art no matter the sacrifice, even personal well being, like nothing else mattered but their creations. So many of the 'greats' led a life of suffering & poverty, selling their souls.

    Sleep paralysis is scary AF if anyone here has experienced it you know exactly what i mean, it's just like how the actor portrayed it, it's like your conscious but are completely paralyzed, feel like you can't breath thinking something is coming for you, it's absolutely terrifying to put it lightly, you try with all your might to move a leg, move anything but can't until slowly your able to move and i mean sloooooowly, and then you snap out of it right when you think your going to die, hasn't happened to me in years and hope it doesn't happen again any time soon, especially after watching this.

      i head a trick some time ago that's always worked for me. when in sleep paralysis the only thing you can almost for certain control is your breathing. if you begin breathing very rapidly or hold your breath or anything like that there's a good chance your body will wake up fully. it's always worked for me so i hope it'll work for other people as well

      I don't know if I had that or a night terror but it happened twice when I was a little child. It was terrifying both times. One time I saw what I thought was my father watching me at my door. And the second was I was stuck under the covers like they were glued shut.

  • @KuzuParanormalInvestigator

    First time there was a film about sleep paralysis and it was shown very good. I had a sleep paralysis when my old mattress became uncomfortable to lie on and for a couple of weeks i was experiencing that and it was so realistic, scary and i thought that my room became haunted or something. That feeling when you see and hear things but you can't move is the worst.

  • @observationsfromthefencepo7207

    This short horror is an exploratory horror work.
    We all hope for the elusive inspiration and sometime we find it. But what if that inspiration somehow became all consuming. Then wexcould be in trouble. This work explores that quite well.
    It reminded me of Neil Gaman's Sandman # 17 called Calliope especially in regards to unhealthy muses and abusing said muse for gain.
    I enjoyed the acting and the muse is the stuff of nightmares and is fascinating how farther lead is willing to go.
    Great work and nice job to all involved.
    Peace
