"If you are not careful and you noclip out of reality..."
Theatrical Narrative & World
Directed by 19-year-old viral sensation Kane Parsons, Backrooms follows a young assistant film archivist in 1996 who accidentally slips through a physical anomaly in the basement of a television station.
Trapped in an infinite, labyrinthine expanse of mono-yellow wallpaper, buzzing fluorescent lights, and damp carpet, he must document his journey on VHS while evading sound-sensitive predatory entities.
