LC Director, Robert Force, was Dylan's mentor for the project, suggesting the Hodgson novel as the basis for his film to expand upon Dylan's interest in the Lovecraft-style literature that, along with early films such as Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, helped to create the modern horror film genre. Robert met with Dylan frequently during the year to critique his efforts and, along with TESC faculty members, Ruth Hayes and Julia Zays, helped guide him through his second feature-length film production.
