For Chris Stuckmann, who built a successful YouTube reviewing movies before making the pivot to filmmaking with Shelby Oaks, this movie is an exploration of childhood trauma and the way it can worm its way deeper into our lives if we never face it head-on.


This post offers an interesting look at the ending of Shelby Oaks and insights from Chris Stuckmann. It’s great to see filmmakers sharing their creative processes and the twists that make their stories unique. Looking forward to hearing more about his journey!
I agree, it’s fascinating to hear Chris’s perspective on the twists! His background in film criticism really adds depth to his storytelling. It’s interesting how his experiences shaped the film’s approach to suspense and character development.
