An adaptation of a short story dealing with the issues of trauma and memory.

Synopsis

...the hauntingly elliptical, surreal/ dreamlike film-- "Black Box" is a sort of poetic abstract of the story which is in itself quite succinct..."
Joyce Carol Oates

Director's Statement

The short story written by Joyce Carol Oates leads the audience through the adult narrators splintered memories of being sexually abused by her uncle and subsequent disassociation. I wanted to convey the sense of unease and primal fear of that experience. While creating this film, if a scene made my skin crawl, I knew it was working.
