Filmmaker Statement

Deja vu is a film I wrote after a dream I had where a woman experienced a traumatic event before it happened through a feeling of Deja vu. I have seen many powerful films that relay the horror or the violence of an event through its aftermath where the emotional impact on a character can be much more dramatic than seeing the actual events. With Deja vu, I wanted to see if I could tell a story of horror through the protagonist's experience of the events, but this time setting the story before they happened. Therefore, experimenting on the notion that anticipation can be one of the most horrific ways to experience pain.
