Director Statement

The Snake is based on an Aesop fable which is thousands of years old. The greatness of this story lies in it's universality throughout the ages. This film is not in any way promoting a particular modern political agenda.
On another note, the inspiration for the imagery and sensibility comes from the classic children's book of cautionary tales called Slovenly Peter.
