Director Statement

What would you do for love? Love is the driving force of the human race. Our engine. When faced with the tragedy of loss we feel an intense pull to protect the love we have left. The love of someone lost, of someone returned…resurrected. So few of us are granted a second chance to look into the eyes of our soulmate. When that chance presents itself we dare not ask the cost.

In Fractal we will explore the pain of loss, the complexity of love returned, and ask the question…what would you sacrifice for love?
