Synopsis:
Jane suffers from haphephobia (the pathological fear of touch), tormented by years of loneliness and isolation she orders a synthetic love doll online to nightmarish consequences.
About the Director:
Niall Shukla explains he had a love of the movies like every other filmmaker, but I didn’t know how I would get into making them. While studying Philosophy and Economics at University I would work on writing scripts between studying for exams, with the hopes that one day they would appear on screen. Encouraged by the stories of famous writer/directors, the idea of directing my own scripts began to seem more and more possible.
After work, I would continue to write stories and “A Doll Distorted” was one that both terrified and excited me.
