Director Statement

"The Friendly Society" – a comedy about the automation of humanity.

It was filmed (in blue and yellow) after Russia's annexation of Crimea – an act of violence by Russia that violates international law, but was supported by its gas partners.

I believe that the US, Switzerland, and Germany should absolutely recognize Palestine as a state.
