Director Statement

"Puppet Show with One-Eyed" stands as a multi-genre, experimental film. It sheds light on a societal dynamic where conformity is dictated by external expectations. In a world characterized by pervasive peer pressure and the omnipresent gaze of large organizations, we unwittingly become puppets, performing to the unseen strings of influence.

As the narrative unfolds, a profound realization takes center stage – the puppeteer controlling our actions is not the looming figure with the one eye; rather, it is the gaze of our own self-imposed constraints. The film invites viewers on an immersive journey, unraveling the layers of psychological realization that emerge over time.

"Puppet Show with One-Eyed" is a thought-provoking exploration of autonomy, societal expectations, and the internal struggles that define our existence. Through a captivating blend of genres and experimental storytelling, this cinematic endeavor challenges preconceived notions, prompting audiences to question the true puppeteer of their lives – the external forces or the self-imposed restrictions that often go unnoticed. The film gives a dramatic and psychologically charged experience that lingers in the minds of audience.
