I love hidden things.
The feelings we bury,
the secrets we conceal,
and the monster in the shadows.
This fascination laid the foundation for my short film, EYE CATCHER, and now fuels a terrifying feature version.
EYE CATCHER the movie scrutinizes the darker side of creativity...the sometimes deadly relationship between an artist and his muse. No one has seen a muse like this. It traps you, it inspires you... and it preys upon you. And it hides.
I’ve seen many horror movies and TV shows that hide creatures and ghosts for us to find on re- watch. But I haven’t seen one featuring a demon that can camouflage itself and nestle in unexpected parts of the frame. This muse, the “Eye Catcher,” awakens our species’ earliest and most primal fear: that we are being stalked by something we cannot see, which is much closer to us than we realize.
In EYE CATCHER, the unseen is not just a source of terror, but also a wellspring of revelation— terrifying and emotional epiphanies. EYE CATCHER is a psychological exploration of the artist's mind, a family's resilience, and the unseen forces that shape our creativity and our mental health. Watch closely.
