Director’s Statement
Souliloquy is my first attempt at directing some else's work. Having Felipe Alejandro, (the writer), around helped me in defining the story and the casting of the film.
Due to the small room that we shot in, I decided to use an old Hollywood style of filming. That is using one camera to capture the two or more actors in the same frame this made the blocking very important.
I also liked Joey Mendez’s hand held camera work. So I had him follow the action with a second camera. This added movement and tension to the scene. When I first read the story I knew that I wanted it to be dark and creepy.
