Director Statement

As the director of Affect, my intention was to create a drama that explores the complexity of human emotions through the story of a woman who falls in love with a television host. This project emerged from my deep curiosity about how interpersonal relationships and media exposure can influence our lives and feelings.

My approach to the film was shaped by a desire to explore innovative cinematic techniques to convey the intensity and subtlety of the characters' emotions. I sought to use visual and stylistic techniques to reflect the depth of the protagonist's internal experiences, creating an immersive experience for the audience.

Affect is not just a love story, but a reflection on the dynamics of power and desire in the media age. By experimenting with different visual approaches, my goal is to challenge audience expectations and provoke deeper contemplation about the complexities of human connection.

I hope Affect resonates with viewers and offers a new perspective on how passion and obsession can intertwine with reality and fantasy.
