The Vord-
Director/Writer M.T. Maliha created a story from the stuff bad dreams are made of and events pulled from her life.
With a history to share, illusions to conquer, and personal demons to slay, she set sail into the turbulent waters of filmmaking during a time when the industry has become overwhelmed with content.
But undeterred, she told the story of The Vord because she felt it 'needed the telling'; because women filmmakers are in a minority; because she needed to prove that telling a story doesn't have to be formulized, and she beat back the notion that all stories need to be completely understood after one viewing.
They don't.
She doesn't mind if people scratch their heads and wonder...
Filmmaking is all about that.
Wonder.
Thought-provoking - stories within stories.
She hopes you find yourself in the telling of The Vord and come away examining your own dark/light places.
As David Lynch said: “In my mind it’s so much fun to have something that has clues and is mysterious – something that is understood intuitively rather than just being spoon fed to you. That’s the beauty of cinema, and it’s hardly ever even tried. These days, most films are pretty easily understood, and so people’s minds stop working.”
The Vord is mysterious - sometimes ugly in its cruelty and shame-

and sometimes so beautiful you forget to breathe...
