Director Statement

I would like to share the idea behind my short film, 'Mayiru: Shit Happens.' It is an experimental piece that doesn't fit into a specific genre. I've attempted to incorporate a modern Western tone to it where the protagonist is paralleled to a cowboy, with his revolver symbolized by the hairdryer. However, he confronts an indestructible force—the helmet. In the end, he realizes that shit happens in life and continues his journey with his horse, symbolized by the bike.
