Director's Statement

As a 2nd Unit Director / Stunt Coordinator, most of my work has been action oriented. I wanted to direct a more dramatic piece. I came up with a concept of a man stuck in an abyss between the world of the living and the world of the dead. I then approached my longtime creative partner, Marcos Antonio Miranda, with the idea and he loved it. Also an activist against social injustice, he figured we could use the film to bring attention to the horrible issue of human trafficking.

We used the Panasonic HDX-200 camera to shoot. After researching this camera, I new that its capability for slow-motion, under-cranking and over-cranking would allow me to accentuate the more dramatic moments in the film. It would not have been possible otherwise. Finally, I edited the film on Final Cut Pro. An editing system my creative partner and I have used on most of our projects.
