More About "Shut Eye":
A recovering addict isolates herself in a nearby rental home while she gets her life on track. Haunted by episodes of sleep paralysis and visions of silhouetted demons, she scores an Ambien from the strange property manager in order to get a good night’s rest. When the episodes intensify and town secrets come to light, she’s certain the haunting forces aren’t only in her mind.

Director’s Statement:
Sleep paralysis visions happen across cultures and borders and no one understands why it happens to certain people and not others. There’s something that happens when you’re alienated and isolated and you have a different relationship to your imagination. This story is about a stranger in a strange place and her relationship to her family, community, and substance abuse. But I think if you’re vulnerable enough in any situation, it’s simply easier for the demon to get you.
