Director Statement

Initially SIKE was conceptualised for a local filmmaking group in Dundee, however this was halted due to COVID-19 restrictions. A
year later we had the opportunity to create a short film for our university coursework university coursework and with some alterations, SIKE was created.

The idea behind SIKE came from our mutual love of music and
a little show called Killing Eve. The writing, artistic direction and cinematography was heavily influenced by the show's attention to detail.
