It Lives Inside

World Premiere at SXSW 2023 with Worldwide Theatrical Distribution later in 2023!

WINNER - AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD for Midnighters at SXSW 2023!

From /Film’s review of the SXSW World Premiere:
”Composure is a key attraction to "It Lives Inside," whether it's Matthew Lynn's distorting cinematography that swirls to represent lives turning upside down or thick shadowy lighting that nails alarming atmospheres.”

Sam, an Indian-American teen, lives in an idyllic suburb with her conservative mother and her assimilated father. Sam’s cultural insecurities grow due to her estranged friend, Tamira, who mysteriously carries around an empty mason jar all the time. In a moment of anger, Sam breaks Tamira’s jar and unleashes an ancient Indian demonic force that kidnaps Tamira. Sam searches for Tamira, following the trail of a young man who performed a deadly ritual, until the demonic entity starts targeting her, murdering her boyfriend and shattering her reality with terrifying visions. Sam must band together with her parents and a sympathetic teacher to save Tamira and put an end to the terror of the demon.

In the fall of 2021 I traveled to Vancouver, BC to shoot my first studio feature with produced by Sean McKittrick and Ray Mansfield of QC Entertainment with NEON distributing. The feature is in post-production and is expected to have a worldwide theatrical run. More information as soon as I can share!
