Director Statement

Bad things happen every day, so why don’t we see them from a different perspective? Just because we’ve been through bad times, it shouldn’t mean we should let go of what makes us, "US".

Sometimes, I think humour is an important element for staying strong in this world. In LIMBO, we talk about death, memory and understanding. The story uses an unfortunate and unusual event to bring out the moral journey that deep down, a lot of us have been through or are going through.

With this film, I want to explore the power of memory, and how, even the bad ones are important, as they define who we are and make us realise, and value, the good times even more.
