I had the pleasure of attending the Highlands Horror Film Fest in Highlands, New Jersey this past weekend and was honored that MOMMA, DON’T GO won the award for Best Short Film! Located on the Jersey Shore, the festival had the perfect atmosphere and setting with awesome Halloween decorations. Thank you to festival director Rob Kneller and the festival team. I hope to return with a future project.
Thank you to Twelve Cabins for featuring Momma, Don’t Go and for the interview, where I discuss my relationship with the horror genre, my experience making the film and what’s next. Check out the interview below.
