"What does it mean to connect with another human being? How fragile is one's grasp on sanity, and self? Is it our families who give us our core identity, or do we find that elsewhere? What is the price that must be paid in even looking for answers to these questions? Director Jeremiah Kipp's latest film, the 10-minute long Contact lives in the disturbing (nightmarish) atmosphere of these realities, the space between knowledge and wisdom, the abyss between making a youthful mistake and tragedy. Shot in beautiful black and white, Contact is a compressed journey of horror and revelation, with a core of emptiness, the echoing aloneness of Self, that jolts the audience at the finish, reverberating." - Sheila O'Malley, The House Next Door

"You’ve hit upon an important word for me: tension. It’s the essential element in all of these films, which is creating a sense of mystery for the audience about what is happening, and what is going to happen next. " - interview at Molempire

"Jeremiah Kipp’s inquisitive eyes are constantly on the move. In a rear booth inside Ace Bar in New York City’s East Village, the diminutive, energetic filmmaker is rapidly answering questions about his semi-autobiographical short film "The Christmas Party," periodically punctuating key points by slamming the table with his fist." - interview with Nick Schager at New England Film

"The monster is always my favorite character in horror movies, particularly when we recognize the distorted, twisted, recognizably human side of them; the side of ourselves we don’t want to see." - interview at Geek Tyrant

"Children are more bold in their taste and sensibilities than we give them credit for. I love working with kids, and love watching movies with them, and think they are the best audience of all because they don’t pretend at all—they are either excited by what you’re doing or they’ll throw eggs at you." - interview at Rogue Cinema
