Director Statement

I wanted to make this film to explore the inner thoughts of a character. I also wanted to have it be as though you are in the characters mind and on this walk with him, but you never have to see the character on his walk, because you are able to see all of the features of his walk. I wanted to showcase the feeling of having your thoughts be inhibited and being free to wander, and I hope that this film will be able to resonate with anyone that watches it.
