Director Jack Dignan was quoted saying: “Puzzle Box isn’t a film I ever thought I would make. After my first film (After She Died) came out, I didn’t expect this to be what I worked on next. I wasn’t planning on doing a small little self-contained found footage horror movie ever in my life, let alone right at this moment. But once the idea came to me, I knew I had to make it. There was something special about it; something scary and exciting and fresh, and the process of making it thrilled me. I had to do it. And it was an experience I hold dear to my heart. This is a very special movie to me, for a number of reasons, and a special movie like this needs the right festival to premiere at, which is why I was thrilled to hear that Popcorn Frights wanted to host our world premiere. This is a festival I’ve admired from afar for quite some time. They embrace the weird, the wonderful and the frightening, and having gotten a sneak peak at what’s in store at this year’s festival, I’m honored to be included amongst such wonderful movies.” (8/15/23)
