Nova Director Says Horror Film Explores Larger Mystery
Nova is a new film directed by Milo and led by Raiza Wilson.
It is being described as more than a regular horror movie.
The film uses fear to tell a bigger mystery.
Its story connects time, memories, science and frightening events.
The screenplay is meant to make viewers keep asking questions.
The filmmakers also tried to ensure that sunlight does not appear in any scene.
They filmed for 32 days in a difficult mountain location in Kerala.
