Director Statement

Creating 4’33" was a wild ride – limited gear and just one week to produce the film from scratch to editing. The guesthouse we stayed in unexpectedly inspired the film. As I was pondering the film concept in the living room, I got fixated on a small rectangle window, through which I could glimpse a portion of the kitchen, observing the people within. This simple detail triggered a bunch of questions and ideas prompting me to contemplate the narrow outlook we often adopt when observing others from a distance.
