Directors Statement

I made this film for a college class over the course of a couple days. I had no budget but I like to think I had an idea. An homage to the horror films I love, FERMATA explores the kind of fear that inhibits ambition, suppresses our desires, and holds us back from realizing our potential—only if we let it.
