Heidi Slater

Synopsis

'Heidi Slater' a digital suicide-note or a twisted video Manifesto?

I am Heidi Slater (pseudonym) and I present to you my film -'Heidi Slater' which is
MY PERSONAL representation of the tragic events of the 18th of March 2013. I have edited together a collection of footage taken while (I thought) I was shooting a low budget Horror movie, in fact, 'The Director' was shooting something entirely different.

I now take back control of my life by facing my fears and editing this film together.

Heidi Slater.
