I wanted to tell this story as a midnight film because of my deep love of genre and I simply haven't seen this theme been told as a short in this way before.
Creator
Born in Lima, Peru and raised in Sweden. With a big passion for filmmaking as long as he can remember, Oliver started studying the art of filmmaking on his spare time as a young teen while attending high school.
After graduation he used these skills and made several low budget short films with his close friends. Studied film theory/history at University of Gothenburg which he holds a degree in, and worked as an assistant director on several short films and commercials giving him a great opportunity to learn both the theoretical and practical aspects to take it to the next professional stage as a filmmaker.
