Thor Moreno has never shied away from exploring the darker corners of the human psyche. With SCHISM, his latest feature, the filmmaker takes on a profoundly psychological narrative that delves into the fragile boundaries between reality and illusion.
Premiering at the American Film Market this November, the film is yet another testament to Moreno’s unique ability to craft complex, emotionally driven stories.
Moreno’s body of work spans over two decades, during which time he has garnered critical acclaim. He has 11 international awards to his name, including Best Director at the Cannes World Film Festival.
With SCHISM, he delves deeper into the human experience, weaving a tale that disorients and captivates, leaving the audience questioning what is real.
Set in Northern California’s cold, fog-laden backdrop, SCHISM follows a clairvoyant whose haunting visions force her to confront her deepest fears. The film’s atmosphere—both eerie and claustrophobic—mirrors the inner turmoil of its protagonist. Moreno shares, “The Lost Coast provided the perfect setting for this story. Its haunting beauty and sense of isolation were essential to capturing the mood of SCHISM.”
With SCHISM, Thor Moreno adds another compelling work to his filmography. He further solidifies his reputation as a director unafraid to explore the delicate, often terrifying boundaries between the known and the unknown.
