Director Statement

Inspired by films such as "The Lighthouse" and "Psycho", I want the audience to be swept away into the world recounted by the Grimm brothers... Into a dark and moody fairy tale unlike any other story we've seen thus far. "Mandje" is about realizing what it is in life that is meaningful, and foregoing the need for outside riches or greed. I think the team behind this project captured that message beautifully.
