Story
Mission Statement
What dreams do you have before moving to a big city? How does the reality destroy you afterwards? Inspired by actual crimes, LOCKED ALONE is a metaphorical story about isolation, alienation, and loneliness in a big city. The goal soon becomes surviving everyday - you know you get trapped already.About The Project
Our director, Yung-Jen Yang, is an award winning filmmaker specialized in horror/thriller. His films have been awarded in Cityvisions, Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival, LA Thriller Film Festival, Winter Film Awards, New Filmmakers NY, CAAMFest and etc. This time, he determined to conduct his first horror feature, LOCKED ALONE, to reveal the hidden nightmares in modern life and to portray social issues.
After been locked in the apartment for 9 days, we have suffered the same terror, fear, helplessness and despair as Catherine did. Our wonderful team sacrificed their happy Christmas to work on this project - Yes, we shot during Christmas holidays last year. You can tell how much we love horror films!
Thank god we have finished shooting safely and now we are excited to work on post-production!
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW
With a rough cut on hand, it’s time to make it perfect!
"I refuse to be locked in the real life. Facing life pressures, my artist dream can not be chained. We tried hard to gather all resources and formed a tiny 5-people crew. As a director, I did everything myself - producing, warddore, art decoration, even grabbing camera to shoot if necessary. We aren’t like others who haven’t even started their projects. We have reached halfway already - the film is completely shot, and going through editing process. However, if you are a horror movie fans, you know how important color, music and sound effects are. More importantly, I’d like to share my visions to everyone else. I can’t do it by myself...It’s time to find other professionals to join in. That’s why we are lauching this campaign to seek financial support. If you feel me, please support us and make the film complete."
—— Yung-Jen Yang, Director
