Director Statement

There is a great deal of negativity in the world. People are fighting, people are ill, and people
are losing their homes. Our Media promotes fear and lies, our music articulates depression
and betrayal; what happen to living life to the fullest from rock n roll and singing our hearts
out about love and passion? I want to add a little bit of positivity back in this world. I want to
encapsulate one of most stressful moments in a person’s life that they may go through in a
fun an imaginative approach through a magical modern world. The story of Minty’s commute
is filled with challenges and unforeseen obstacles that life throws at you. And the only way
through it is through a building, some speeding tickets and one very sad Roomba.
