Festivals - FrightFest 2020 : Don’t look back – Discover the trailer

By Mulder, 04 october 2020

“ With Don’t Look Back I wanted to create a mystery/suspense/horror film that deals with people’s lack of empathy of each other…as well as the themes of guilt, karma and faith. That’s what I love about our genre…we can entertain and scare people…while hopefully giving them something to think about when they finish the film. By doing this as in Indie film, I was able to cast who I wanted and I discovered a wonderful black actress, Kourtney Bell, as our leading lady. Kourtney is a gem who loves the genre and wants to be scream queen. “ - Jeffrey Reddick
