I came up with the idea for this third and final instalment of my one-woman thriller series before I even filmed 'The Bridge'. It felt like a natural progression to implant a confusing and disorienting situation into an environment that ought to be anything but. It came with the challenge of finding as many interesting camera angles as I could within a confined space and turning the camera itself into another character along for the ride. 'The Lift' combines the visual language of both 'The Pool' and 'The Bridge', with the shooting style of retro horror, to instil audiences with a feeling of inescapable discomfort.
'The Lift' questions whether we ought to trust modern devices of convenience as much as we do.
