Broken Toes & No Crew | BTS Of Making a Short Horror 😱

Описание: A practical look at making an indie horror short film — right before Halloween.

This behind-the-scenes looks at how Power Outage was made — from lighting the living room with flashlights, to capturing a glowing mask effect, to toes being broken, and how we built tension with one actor and one location.

We shot this in a single night using DIY techniques and limited equipment — proving you don’t need a big budget to make a film.
