I am extremely excited and proud to share with you this amazing short film, L.U.N.A. After the success of my last short BLOOD STAINS, I was lucky to meet a few talented and creative individuals who were also screening their latest projects in the festival circuit.
Roman Arabia, writer, and executive producer of L.U.N.A., and Xavier Charles, executive producer, are two of those individuals. We immediately hit it off and I was pleasantly surprised when they reached out to me a few weeks later to share their next project and asked me if I wanted to come on board and direct this great project.
As soon as I read the script, I knew I was lucky to have been brought aboard this ride. The story hits a few of the classic haunted house tropes but with a modern and unique take that brought it to our times.
As a big fan of the genre, I immediately visualized the style I wanted to follow and the world I wanted to create. Heavily inspired by my obsession with the Italian horror subgenre GIALLO, I knew I wanted to bring this modern horror story to the screen with touches of classic 70’s and 80’s horror. From the visual style to pacing to the music, I hope you enjoy my attempt at paying homage to all those great classic horror stories.
