Experiencing Interruptions?

Hereunder

In a tale of art, deception, and desperate choices, Robbie, the acclaimed artist, and Ivan, his brother tethered to the fringes of the art world, find themselves entangled in a dangerous game of insurance fraud. As their carefully crafted plan to fake the theft of Robbie's masterpiece teeters on the edge, the brothers face a reckoning with insurers who demand answers, pushing them to the brink of a family feud with consequences that may be irreversible.

Director Statement

The world of Hereunder is a manifestation of Ivan’s subconscious, his internal terror turned inside out with himself torn and mutilated at its centre. Ivan’s fears, failure and emotional state have created this space and this sequence of events. I want the audience to feel like a voyeur, watching what happens in these forgotten backrooms. The writing style of Franz Kafka is a big influence on how I want to tell this story — namely his precision, humour and lack of overt emotion with which he describes his own terrors. This film, underneath it all, is about the fear of failure and its implications on our loved ones. This fear is like a parasite, feasting on us and our relationships. The reason I want to tell this story is because I am trying to turn my internal terror inside out.
