WESTERN GOTHIC

BEHIND THE SCENES
This behind-the-scenes video is a collection of raw moments from production. I hope it offers an honest look at the filmmaking process and the people who helped bring this proof of concept to life.
I resonate deeply with the timeless beauty of classic Westerns, and I’m madly in love with the haunting imagery of surrealist black and white cinema. Goodnight, August grew from a desire to bring those influences together, and to create a world where Southern mythology, dream logic, and spiritual themes exist side by side.
As an expressionistic filmmaker, I'm less interested in recreating reality than revealing the emotional and spiritual truths beneath it. I love building immersive worlds that feel both familiar and otherworldly, where memory, symbolism, and the subconscious become as tangible as the physical world we live in. Goodnight, August will always be the world that unexpectedly grew from my own heart and imagination, and I’ll love it forever
