Director Statement

BZRK lives deep in my soul. As a young man, I drank too much, and battled anger issues, all of which culminated in anxiety and panic attacks when I was 24 yrs old. My life changed, I was no longer “invincible”. I needed help. I needed to change. This experience introduced me to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, therapy, meditation, and stoicism and opened my eyes to the amount of judgment and injustice that permeates our lives. You need only recall socio-political tension, the violence, the lies, and the hate our world hosts - dwell on that for a moment - that feeling deep in your chest - that is the fuel that drove me to create BZRK.

I’m excited to give a introspective manifestation to the anger we all feel at times, the helplessness we experience in this big world and allow our that anger to be there - it’s not always bad, it can be good - cathartic - but it’s all a matter of perspective.

This short film is a proof of concept for the feature script.
