Director Statement

This was my first film in Canada. I wanted to make something fun, simple, and memorable to prove myself that I can put a crew together and collectively give life to something resembling a film. The lack of dialogue was an attempt to tell the story in a purely visual manner, and I believe that gives the film a special character. Adding to the mystery and forcing the audience to pay attention to what happens in every scene.
