DIRECTOR STATEMENT
Fear is often spoken about as something external, something waiting for us in the dark. But for me, Paralyzed explores the quieter fear that lives within us: avoidance.
The film follows a man forced inward after a traumatic experience fractures his sense of safety. What interested me most was not the event itself, but the psychological unraveling that follows, the isolation, silence, and the way fear can distort our reality when left unaddressed.
At its core, Paralyzed is about the consequences of never confronting the things that haunt us.
