Director Statement

I love every element of visual storytelling. A Perception of Prudence was born of a collection of long running ideas when an opportunity to shoot on one of the sound stages at the new Calgary Film Center was presented to me.

My aim for Prudence was to combine minimalistic stage elements with rich, vivid imagery. Darkness represents the walls - boundaries that enclose a society or belief system. Contained within those walls are numerous symbolic elements - colours, numbers, phrases, physical items, sounds, use of specific instruments in the score, etc. - to provide vehicles of discovery and undercurrents of social commentary.

This film was an opportunistic indulgence of discovery and expression for me as a filmmaker. Enjoy!
