Dust (2024) was my first attempt at making a film that was truly experimental. A lot of the films I had made so far could be deemed as 'experimental' because I was trying new things, but this was one of the only times I made something that was designed to be unique, against tropes and sometimes strange. I wanted the film to be something people interpret differently when they watch it, like a lot of experimental films, but I wanted a narrative to be present, but difficult to decipher. I was inspired to do this by a lot of films but also video games as well. I believe this idea also transformed into the film having a horror/mystery aesthetic throughout. I was heavily inspired by the connection between the paranormal and cameras, seen before in films like Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project. This is where the title; Dust, comes from. I wanted to try make a film that itself felt haunted rather than fictitious and produced.
