"It was exhausting, but worth every minute," she says, reflecting on her debut behind the camera. Siegel brought a disciplined approach, setting her own creative boundaries to ensure a unique take on found footage. With her segment playing with themes of time, Siegel describes it as "both scientific and spiritual," something she's also exploring in her upcoming project The Life of Chuck.
Inspired by her children's growing curiosity about the genre, Siegel launched the project to provide age-appropriate chills without diluting the scare factor. "Let's teach them the art of the jump scare," she jokes, proud to include her daughter's own voice in a story that draws from real nightmares.
Looking ahead, Siegel's directing ambitions extend to complex, female-centered narratives that blend horror, fantasy, and philosophical exploration. "Weird, feminist, adult stories - that's where I'm headed," she explains, inspired by a mix of Guillermo del Toro, Terrence Malick, and Ridley Scott.
