Experiencing Interruptions?

"RAT RACE BLUES" - Short Film

"My peace is bound to implode at the expense of what?"

Drawing inspiration from everyday life, RAT RACE BLUES takes viewers on a tour of the candid streets of Toronto through the day-to-day hustle. From the rush to get from point A to B, to the inescapable shackles of an office job, to the ironic paraphernalia we find on the city's streets, RAT RACE BLUES delivers visuals of that lifestyle.

As captured by the main character, it's very easy to get caught up in the fast-paced rhythm of life, consequently straining one's health. Sometimes, social isolation is necessary, as it takes finding beauty and solace in the smallest things life has to offer, to feel confident in life.
