Congratulations to Thomas on having his feature directorial debut accepted to SXSW Film Festival – a huge achievement for a (relatively) new filmmaker!

The movie will have it’s world premiere in Austin, Texas next month and word has gotten around the net, including on Variety, Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter.

We always knew bright things were ahead for our star.

“My father died when I was twenty-two, and I really was destroyed by it. He was everything to me, and I really had a very deep inward emotional spiral, and I knew at the time that I wanted to tell a story about it, that I wanted to make something about it. It was a time of friction between me and my mother, and sort of grappling with my childhood, and I went through a period of wanting to write something about it, but I didn’t want to make some masturbatory, whiny drama, me-me-me kind of movie about the situation. Suddenly this kind of light bulb went off with me at the end of last year, and I went, ‘Uh-oh.’ If I could actually take all that anger and emotion that went with that ride and put it into something frightening and a thriller, I felt it was a good way to use a kind of universal theme in a genre capacity, and I obviously am a very outwardly-spoken genre fan and horror fan—but the kind of horror I’m obsessed with is the really dark, disturbing stuff…” – Excerpt from interview by Heather Buckley, Jack Goes Home
