Director Statement

The main idea and essence behind "Tears of Blood" is to portray that nothing matters more than family.
No matter what background someone's from,
at the end family is everything one should mainly care about.

The thing is, that I didn't want to portray it as the usual drama, it's just not my type.
Since childhood I grew up watching Japanese animations,
which fascinates and influences me in many aspects of my life,
bringing me as well the idea for "Tears of Blood" in the first place, and therefore made me include the Action/Crime/Sci-Fi genres to it.

Another aspect of it, is the opportunity to intrigue the audience in giving them a realistic story while adding a small touch of Sci-Fi or Fantasy, just so they would ask themselves "what if it's actually possible?".

That aspect is for me of utmost importance when it comes in portraying my own particular vision/genre to the world.
