Subscribe to ALTER on YouTube: https://goo.gl/LnXRC3 🔥 This horror is scripted. Your goosebumps are not. A self-conscious teenage girl will do anything to look perfect. When she begins injecting herself with a mysterious cosmetic drug, her body soon takes a monstrous turn. "Shift" by Lucca Vieira Connect with the Filmmakers: https://www.instagram.com/luccavieirafilms https://www.instagram.com/shifttheshortfilm https://www.instagram.com/kronosmediaproductions Director's Statement: As a member of Gen Z myself, and as someone who has struggled in the past with body image, I have seen the devastating influence social media has had on my generation firsthand. Teens, especially young women, are pressured into fitting unrealistic beauty standards, and many have felt they would do anything to look "perfect." In bringing “Shift” to life, I was highly influenced by the body horror of David Cronenberg films, the striking visual intensity of Andrzej Żuławski’s “Possession,” and the works of painter Francis Bacon in portraying the gruesome consequences of the film’s central drug, and the tragic obsession our main character develops for it.
