Director Statement

As a director, I really wanted to tell a unique story and capture the in-between of extreme physical moments, like that found in fight scenes. I wanted to use particular angles and extreme close ups of the intense physical movements while utilizing slow motion in a more syncromatic way. All this to help tell the story with a more engaging visual style that accents the skills and power involved in fight scenes. This, all enveloped in a grounded creative story with a wee bit of humor that leaves the audience provoked and wanting more.
