Director Statement

I made this film at home by hand, using a lot of hand-made props that I either painted or built. I used miniatures for characters and a lot of Broccoli. It felt slightly crazy at the time, but it was great fun - I think you can make a story with almost no budget as long as you have what you feel is a great idea.
