BEHIND THE SCENES

PROMOTIONAL

 
Director Matthew P. Rojas created this tense, quietly epic short film in a single setting with just two actors and almost no dialogue. By doing that, he was able to dive into the mood, pacing, and setting so intently that you almost forget there’s so little going on. On top of that, if you pay attention to the story arc in The Altar, you may recognize some of its allegorical tendencies and references.
