My Silence, My Grave (short film)

Writer | Director

In a claustrophobic apartment building, an acquiescent apartment manager is tasked with cleaning out a unit following a series of gruesome rituals. A cursed encounter amid the gore finds the protagonist on the run from a cannibalistic killer, all while her grasp on reality disintegrates.

On the surface, My Silence, My Grave is simple horror story about a woman trapped between losing her humanity and her life. But under the surface, as most of society’s pervasive ills are, it’s a story about one woman’s fight against a sordid system that pits marginalized peoples against each other. Through physical horror and psychological unease, the protagonist realizes that her own inaction has only served to hurt other minorities and preserve the power of their oppressors.

My Silence, My Grave is currently in the film festival cycle.
