Declaration

film director

What Josiah Saw delves into the concept that we cannot run from our past, or the traumatic memories we house in our minds. In regards to this story, I was fascinated how it explored the power of religion and how it can be used as a tool to manipulate the vulnerable… How it explored childhood trauma and how that can manifest itself in someone throughout their life in horrific ways. The type of trauma that is never cured, only managed. I felt if I was ever going to do a movie to scare people, the foundation would need to be grounded in a reality that is relatable. That is genuine horror to me.”
