Director Statement

In the dramatic structure of a sequence shot, a great responsibility falls on the story told, which, if told in another way, fragmented, would not have the same force.
Carl Dreyer once said, "A scream in the middle of a sequence shot is not the same as a cut, it has more force in the running time."
Under this idea and Andrei Tarkovsky's idea about art as a means of spiritual enrichment, we decided to tell this story through the technique of the Sequence Shot, telling the story of a moment in the life of a frustrated filmmaker in the middle of a chaotic shoot.
We thank everyone who sees our work and effort.
