Director Statement

This film is an examination of the expected structures of a documentary. The goal of the film is to participate effectively within the constraints of a documentary, while also providing as little information as possible. The film looks like a documentary, however, it is anything but.
The pacing and repetition create a hypnotic feeling while the lack of clear information causes the viewer to analyze the actions for themselves.
