For his directorial feature film debut, Western Pennsylvania’s Nick Danko looked no further than his own backyard.
Danko’s “Red Woods” is a found footage film in the vein of “The Blair Witch Project” (minus the shaky-camera effect) that follows an urban explorer group as they tromp through abandoned houses in the woods. Much of it was filmed on Danko’s property in Lawrence County that borders McConnell’s Mill State Park.
