Terror and anticipation felt in equal measure. A fantastic example of storytelling through sound design.

Elise Wicker

You don't need a 4G cinema to feel the rain on your face on this one.

Ed Birch Director of Salt-Street productions

You might have seen films that capture the raw power of nature before - storms, thunder and lightning. With stunning photography and an atmospheric soundtrack, this film also captures the obsession of the storm chasing photographer and what it takes to get those shots.

Anna Paxton

Chasing Monsters is a creative tour de force. Director Krystle Wright's innovative daring cinematography and perfectly honed storytelling skills are on full electrifying display in this amazing short film. A must see!

A wild future is upon us. This rhythmic and emotive film sets us in the path of the storm
