Director Statement

There has always been something magical about the genre of claymation films. Unlike computer-based or even hand-drawn animation, clay’s tactile form draws in an audience’s imagination as its physicality and dimension brings the story-world alive! For me, “The Power Of Christ” was an artistic improvement on many levels. Sculpting, set design and costume sewing aside, this film became my chance to really experiment with bold colors having been inspired by the works of Vittorio Storaro. It was also a personal escape from the recent quarantine lock-downs and an opportunity to create something positive during a negative time.
