FOREST IN A VALLEY
Yosemite, USA
Type: Narrative
Service: Cinematography/Narrative
A gothic short following a young explorer who, after months of journeying through the Red Woods, encounters something far beyond what he expected to find. The story unfolds as a mysterious and theatrical descent into the unknown, exploring isolation, obsession, and the darker forces that emerge when curiosity pushes beyond its limits.
Drawing from gothic theater and classic horror, the film creates an eerie world through dramatic compositions, heightened performances, and an atmosphere of deliberate unease. Deep shadows, expressive lighting, and carefully staged frames give the forest an almost otherworldly presence, transforming the landscape into a theatrical space where reality and nightmare begin to blur.
