Director Statement

As someone who grew up in an era of tremendous technological
advancement, I am quite aware of how it affects people's daily
lives. In the medium of cinema, technological improvements are
typically depicted as a destructive evil trope rather than their
purposeful beneficial usage. My purpose with this film is not to
demonstrate the positive and negative sides of future
technology advancements, but to show the lives and actions of
people who live in a world saturated with those advancements.

This is a tale about life and death in a setting that blends
inevitable amalgamation of technology and nature, or
authenticity and artificiality.
