Still/Born is Christensen’s directorial debut, and was co-written by Colin Minihan (Grave Encounters 1,2, Extraterrestrial, It Stains The Sands Red).

‘Still/Born’ follows Mary, a new mother who lost one of her twins in childbirth. As she struggles with the loss of one of her children, she starts to suspect something sinister is after her surviving child – a supernatural entity that has chosen her child and will stop at nothing to take it from her.

The film is set to have its market debut at Cannes.
