We are Val and Jess, directors of Gaslighter
Gaslighter has been one of our favourite projects to direct. We had so many amazing crew and cast to work with and it really shows in the quality of the film.
It was wonderful to be able to merge both of our ideas and visions into one.
It was a challenging script and we always knew it was an ambitious project, but we’re very happy with the result and can’t wait for everyone to see it!
