Director Statement

This movie intrigued me from the very first pitch! The beautiful, universally felt theme and the strong artistic vision both got me hooked. Although a short film - it packs a lot inside of it; from the smooth and natural animation to the crazy, oppressive nightmare fuel. It was a challenge on many fronts!

I’m quite happy with how it turned out! All thanks to the team - direction was a very fluid and democratic process, and the project management was easy as the team was so magnificent.
