I wanted to make a spooky film that either lulls you into a trance or bores you to death—both work. 𝘉𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧 is the final glimpse of a three-part series into a future where “self-care” has become a mandatory, brainwashing ritual, guided by an unknown, controlling presence. It’s intentionally disjointed, leaving you wondering, “What the bloody hell did I just watch?”
