Director’s statement
“Making Room 213, the most important issue for me, has been to tell a thrilling ghost story with the same seriousness and sincerity, that horror stories are told, during middle school age, when at the threshold of entering ones teens - too smart to be called a kid, but not quite ready to grow up”.
