After festival rejections, a director revises his intensely personal short film about trauma, suicide, and the Holocaust, and transforms it into a painful, blunt and funny dissection of the film and his life.
DEMON BOX was the winner of the 2023 Canadian Society of Cinematographers Award for Dramatic Short, Best Short Film at the 2023 Seattle Jewish Film Festival and The Wicked Shorts winner of the 2023 Salem Horror Fest.
