Director Statement

The inspiration of Point Street came about over time as I walked past the building each day on my way to work. The repetition of passing through the urban landscape and the feeling of being drawn to this car park fascinated me and through this I began my obsession with a multicoloured carpark that eventuated into a quirky short dance film.
