Impas (Settlement)
Personal Notes
I have a lot of personal notes scattered all over my Facebook page for this film so you may google them but, for now, I'll have to delay personal notes so you can enjoy the film this Halloween 2023. This is not a horror film but it will be premiered online together with my other horror films. Enjoy them all!
