DIRECTOR STATEMENT
In its simplest terms, SATAN GET THEE BEHIND ME is a portrait of a family. It is Travis Peagler’s family, but it might also be your own - or mine - for none of us is without affliction. It is a film about what it means to be alive in America in the 21st Century, though it stretches its gaze further back, showing that the demons we battle today have walked beside us a long time… they have troubled our siblings, our parents, and beyond. I and am forever and immensely grateful to Travis and his family for trusting me to tell their story. It is a story of possession and dispossession, at once modern and classical… the timeless tale of darkness versus light.
