Director Statement

There are 4 layers to the whole story, 3 levels on which characters are functioning, 2 very different times and 1 final question. All in all, it's just inspired and invoked cinephilia. My love for story structure far exceeds that for the stories themselves, and this movie is locked in a playful neat story structure which is inspired by and devised like a piece of trick which in turn, is designed to provoke and then attack your suspension of disbelief. I hope you watch closely and enjoy the experience.
