The Pool

The Pool was inspired by a creepy experience I had during an afternoon swim. Two days later I undertook a one woman guerilla film shoot to capture my ideas on camera. The challenge of filming only what I could without a second pair of hands, inspired cinematography that found space and emptiness, even within the confined location, and added a voyeuristic quality to the close-ups. The script came together throughout the editing process as the film itself showed me where the sound design needed to take over and drive the story forward. I was very fortunate to have many talented people contribute to post production and help shape The Pool into the thrilling and surprising film it became.

The Pool is an exploration of how vulnerable we can make ourselves feel when we're completely alone.
