About the film: “Slow Creep” is the third film in a trilogy of short horror films I’m writing/directing, and it’s the fourth short I’ve directed. Of the four, it’s the first to really delve into human moments, emotions, and sadnesses. I’ve always felt comfortable creating a piece that lives in a style and encompasses an attitude, and I’m still doing that here, but I’m also dealing with a coming-of-age story; a brother growing up and leaving his sister behind. But also everyone is getting murdered by a monster.
