“Perfect Crime”
Director’s Statement

The film presents Damon, a meticulous thief who is sent to prison because somebody snitched on him. He comes out after his sentence and seeks revenge.

I chose to write and direct this film as my first step into this beautiful world of filmmaking that I love. I have always been a fan of revenge movies, so writing something like this was quite fun. As much as I love interconnecting plots, I wanted this story to be linear, simple, slow and stylised.

Since this was my first time ever being on set, working with the actors and with this crew was very special. I really had fun answering all the hundreds of questions that everyone asked me.

This film will always be special to me because it cemented something that I always believed in - I don’t want to do anything else but make movies…
