Director Statement
How do young people reckon with the labels placed upon them by a society fraught with dogmatic echo chambers? CARRY THE DARKNESS is a coming-of-age supernatural thriller that is as much inspired by the fiction of the 1990s (The X-Files, Twin Peaks, The Fugitive) as it is the nonfiction (Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills).
Director Biography
A Brooklyn-based filmmaker/film geek from Maryland holding an MFA in Digital Filmmaking from Stony Brook Southampton + Killer Films. His feature-length debut is CARRY THE DARKNESS, a coming-of-age supernatural thriller set in 1993 centered around the satanic panic. For Doug, filmmaking is inherently an exercise in empathy; seeking not just to express himself but to engage with the experiences of others. After all, that’s the true magic of movies. If the modern world where nuance goes to die and cynicism reigns, then film is the most important and universal artistic medium for fighting back.
