20254mDrama Thriller

Director: Oscar Lopez

A man’s inner demons become all too real when his mind isn’t the only place they exist.

This is a psychological thriller about a troubled mad who believes that all he is suffering from is schizophrenia, but something more sinister is at work. It was a submission for the 2025 SkillUSA Nationals Digital Cinema competition, it got my partner and I 6th place in the nation! Among other things, the prompt was to copy the cinematography style of Janusz Kamiński's minority report.
