Description:

After moving to a new town, Alice takes a job as a bartender, only to realize at her fresh start she might meet her end. As she serves drinks and listens to the locals, each patron tells her their own theories about the town’s serial killer. As Alice starts piecing together their fragmented stories, she begins to wonder: is she’s hearing rumors… or warnings?

Director’s Statement:

PATCHWORK is really just… patchwork. Every element of the film, including the story structure, the characters, the murderers, and even the editing, fits into the motif of being stitched together to create a whole. Growing up in a small Southern town, I used the quirks and stereotypes I knew firsthand to shape characters who are intentionally partial and symbolic rather than fully realized. Everything in the film is assembled, sewn together, and meant to reflect that motif of fragments and collage.

This film also marks the final chapter of my spooky trilogy, which began just a year ago with Nightfall’s End, and represents the end of an era for me personally: the end of college and my beginnings in the industry. Making this with people close to me, who have grown alongside me both as friends and as collaborators, has shaped the film in ways that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. Their support, trust, and encouragement is what prompted me to create this.

PATCHWORK has really helped me solidify my own style. I realized I approach filmmaking with a love for the tacky, the flashy, and the highly stylized. And while I may soon work on other people’s projects as my career begins, I will keep returning to make these shorts because the experience on a set you’ve constructed is nauseatingly ephemeral and so special to me.
