Director Biography - Kieren Curry, Sarah Richmond

Born in the UK, Kieren Curry immigrated to Australia in 2006, where he quickly fell in love with SCUBA diving and the ocean. He brought his first underwater camera rig and started to teach himself how to shoot marine life. He quickly gained notoriety for his wildlife films winning multiple awards at underwater film festivals.

In 2011 he started his most ambitious project to-date an independently created six-part documentary on sharks found in Australia. This award winning series gave him a hunger to explore the medium of film and storytelling further, and with his first short film Numbers, Kieren makes his fictional directorial debut along with fellow co-director Sarah Richmond. Kieren lives on the Gold Coast with his seven-year-old son Carter, and when he's not shooting films, he can usually be found editing them.

Director Statement

Although this is our first film Sarah and I had a really good idea of what we wanted to capture. We wanted lots of dichotomies, not only between the relationships of the characters but also though colour styles of the film and in the variance of how the two big scenes were shot. At its heart is a dark parable about the futility of greed. At some level greed exists in us all and in the film we obviously take it to the extreme with one of the characters showing wild ruthlessness and avarice towards another. 
It was interesting to work with that, to see how the actors explored it and to take a look at what was darker: the want or the will?
