Director Statement
In the late spring of 2022 I entered a NYC Midnight writing competition with a friend. We traded stories to read, and as he moved on to the second round, he shared with me a little short story he called "The Need."
I immediately knew that I wanted to adapt this story, "The Need" to the screen. My friend Kenny was thrilled to have a screenplay he wrote made into a film, even though I let him know that I'd need to some new elements that truly bring "The Need" into the horror realm, shown in the form of flashbacks .
The Need is a chilling exploration of guilt, redemption, and the haunting power of the past. The film follows a tormented protagonist who, after committing unspeakable acts, is haunted by the voices of his victims. These spectral echoes torment him, whispering into his mind, and driving him towards further acts of horror.
