Kane Parsons, now 21, directs the "Backrooms" film adaptation of the web horror concept he created as a series in 2022 at age 16.
Will Soodik wrote the script for a movie described as a nightmarish, logic-bending maze aimed at young adults steeped in internet culture and video games.
That positioning keeps Parsons at the center of the project, turning a viral online creation into a higher-profile feature built for the audience that first embraced it.
