I love working in horror, as both a director and a cinematographer, because you can be very bold about inserting themes and sociopolitical commentary and still make a fun and entertaining movie. I like films that have something to say! Because horror can mirror the “real world,” but isn’t bound by any of its rules, there is so much room to play. My favorite part is creating the universe and mythology. Give me all the colored lighting and garish red blood! I believe there is no better time than now to be a woman in horror, because there is still so much ground that hasn’t been covered with telling important stories revolving around, and from the perspectives of, women. I also love being a part of the community of horror fans who delight in and support the weird and macabre!
