Director Statement

"Insanex" was shot improvisationally in about two hours on 12 December 2018 around a main idea. Dialogues in an impromptu "language" were recorded at a later date, and then their incoherent English translation was written. The film was completed in March 2020, and it's an experimental surrealistic comedy with zero production value and a high concentration of silliness. It's about deodorants, death, unexpected confrontations, saucepans, an eye and absolutely nothing.
