‘Tinsman Road’ Director Robbie Banfitch on His Lo-fi Found Footage Ghost Story
Writer and director Robbie Banfitch made a splash in the horror world with the release of his cosmic horror found footage nightmare, The Outwaters. Now, he’s pivoting into something a little more melancholy with his second film, Tinsman Road, a lo-fi ghost story shot on Mini-DV about a man trying to make sense of the disappearance of his sister.
In the film:
Independent to the bone and shot fully on gritty 4:3 Mini-DV in the backwoods of New Jersey, Tinsman Road takes the audience on an emotionally winding voyage into the wilderness of death and sorrow. The story centers on a young man as he navigates the serpentine mystery surrounding his long-missing sister and their family home.
I sat down with Banfitch to talk about his love letter to New Jersey, working so closely with his mom, and how his films connect to The Real Housewives universe.

Tinsman Road is playing at The Frida Cinema this Saturday. Buy tickets here.
