A Screen In A Room
This is my 2025 award-winning short film made with the help of my 6 year old Son.
About
Occurring at an unknown point in the last 20 years and seen entirely through one monitor, 'A Screen In A Room' is an experimental psychological horror made by Animator/Director Sean Sears with the help of his six year old son. Through isolated silence, the film intimately follows a character named John, who seeks solace in the familiar but finds himself unravelling. The film has been featured at independent genre showcases, including the Black Sunday Film Festival and the Yeh! Nah! Horror Film Festival (and more). You can read up on the director's creative process and inspirations in the official Love Horror Interview.
