“Backrooms” star Mark Duplass took to X on Tuesday to defend Kane Parsons from rumors that the 20-year-old filmmaker didn’t actually direct the upcoming horror film.

Responding to an X user who claimed Parsons “absolutely didn’t direct” A24’s “Backrooms,” Duplass wrote, “Hmmm, with all due respect I don’t remember seeing you on set. When I was there, Kane was 100% in control. More so than many directors 3x his age.”
