Director Statement

"Behind, Behind The Scenes: How To Take A Shoot?" is my fifth short film as a director and third as a writer-director. A meta film with the drama-suspense genre and presented in a mockumentary style, what we try to bring here is this serious issue that some how it still being unseen in most society: the emotional violence. We explore what happens behind the scenes of stories we see in every day—in this film we take a case in love stories, work environmet, and what really happened in (scenes) reality.

the film tagline is “what really goes behind (the scenes) what we’ve seen”.

Emotional violence isn't always easy to spot because it doesn't leave physical scars. But it can really hurt people inside. Our messages with this film is to make people more aware of this issue, which is often ignored. In here we show the audience the indicators, how it starts, how it progresses, and how it affects.

Through different scenes and symbols, we hope to start conversations and help people understand and support those who are going through emotional abuse, and with this unique takes—Behind, Behind The Scenes: How To Take A Shoot?" is meant to dive viewers into the film story and make people think and hopefully make a difference in how we treat each other.
