The world of dreams and the world of horror are close bedfellows, in their penchant for disrupting and challenging our rational sense of reality. As a lifelong sufferer of night terrors, I have always been interested in the intersection of dreams and fear. Additionally, storytelling is perhaps my largest passion and it is the basis of my professional field. In this project I combined these interests. I have written, illustrated, animated, and created the soundtrack for a short horror film which relates, without dialogue, the experience of having a night terror. My author's statement supplements this by exploring not only the technical process of the project, but my thoughts on the subjects of dreams, horror, and storytelling.
