We were fortunate enough to be in the audience for the premiere of AfterImage, at the Horrible Imaginings Film Festival in San Diego. It was screened in the Supernatural film block. This is one of the creepiest movies we've seen in a long time, where photography can be used in a supernatural, stalking sort of way. It also deals with how people view themselves, how they wish to be viewed, and what happens when that goal is met. The open ended nature of the short only added to the creepiness of the short which left us feeling both weirded out and very unsettled. It has a Night Gallery, Twilight Zone feel to it that makes this film that much more intriguing. After the premiere, we were able to speak with Greg, the filmmaker, and learned that he had been a physics teacher for 16 years, which helped influence the story. He and Alyssa were walking on the beach when the question was asked, "what would you do if you found a photo of yourself, that you did not remember?" We would highly recommend this short film.
