“I saw that movie when I was ten years old. We had a swimming pool then, and I remember floating in the water alone at night when my little brother turned off the light. And although he knew that the pool was only 9 feet deep and 18 feet wide, he was sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that the water was an abyss. and that something terrible rose up towards me from the depths,” he said.

“The swimming pool represents status, distraction and fun,” he said. “It’s sexy, seductive; the colors are rich and vibrant; The turquoise, fresh and clear water invites us like a siren song. But in the water, when the lights go out, it feels huge. On set I always said, ‘I want to smell the chlorine.’ I hope people can smell the chlorine when they see this movie on the big screen.”

Another short film written and directed by McGuire was Every house is hauntedabout a young couple who buy a house with a turbulent history.
