Director Statement

Eye of the Beholder is my directorial debut. As a child, I enjoyed watching cartoons and slap-stick comedy. 25 years ago, British director Mel Smith commented that for art lovers, watching Mr. Bean ruin a priceless work of art was a very uncomfortable hour-and-a-half for movie-goers. He was quite right and isn’t that the magic of visual story telling – provoking emotion in an audience. Our talented team present a colourful and action-packed 3D animated short story and invite you to hop aboard an emotional roller-coaster with our underestimated hero, Arthur the art gallery janitor.
