Get to know the first time directors of AFRAID, Lisbet Byler and Grace Wagner.

DIRECTOR STATEMENT

AFRAID gives viewers a real life glimpse into the anxieties women face everyday. Anxieties that aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. In AFRAID, Anna’s anxieties are personified as a hooded figure to show what she is dealing with mentally. For Anna, her anxieties are as real as the hooded figure. In the end, viewers are left wondering…was there someone in Anna’s car? Or was it all in her head?
