Art Room
13-minute horror film
written & directed by Frank Merle
Emily has been accepted into Art School, but there's a catch: she has to provide her own supplies. Rather than getting herself further into
debt, she opts to go back to her old high school late one night to steal the art supplies she needs. But when she accidentally catches her former
teacher doing terrible things in the art room, the price may be her life.

Director's Notes
I wanted to do a very genre-specific piece that had a slow-burning, suspenseful first half and an action-packed, violent climax. So I wrote this
simple story of two wrongdoers whose paths cross one night while they're trapped in a locked-up high school. Both characters justify their own
behavior in their minds, so it was fun seeing what happens when they start judging each other.
