Director Statement

I've always been fascinated by how subtle changes in choice and direction can create huge shifts in the tone and atmosphere of a director's work.

Through my own films I am drawn to situations that challenge the viewer - themes that are maybe not always openly discussed in society. With Caged, I wanted to create something very different to my first short. I wanted to depict a scene which embodies the suspenseful atmosphere of a 1970's thriller/drama. Being lucky enough to be able to shoot it on 35mm film definitely helped create the feeling I wanted to capture.

I hope Caged's future audiences enjoy our little film, and are left wondering about the fate of its three characters, and their decisions, after the credits close.

Thank you for watching.

Owen
