Backrooms director Kane Parsons is currently working on '3 dream projects' while wearing a Valve hoodie—suspicious

Kane Parsons, the director of the Backrooms film, is currently working on three dream projects. The Backrooms, Parsons' silver screen debut, has been well-received by fans of horror and liminal spaces. Rumors of a sequel have circulated since the film's release, but nothing has been confirmed yet. Parsons has hinted at potential collaborations with Valve, the company behind the Portal games, which have influenced his creative journey.

Parsons is tight-lipped about the projects, only mentioning that they are in the early stages and that Valve is a mysterious and experimental company. He emphasizes the importance of not rushing into things and picking projects that will help him grow his skills.
