Director Statement

"Before the production of this video, Paul and I had many discussions. It was essential for me to tackle deeply psychological themes that I felt were holding him back in his daily life, so that he could feel legitimate in pursuing his art.
This video is both a personal message I’m sending him and a set of deeply personal reflections inspired by our profound conversations about his desires and traumas.
We did not necessarily aim to reveal the real underlying issues."
