Director Statement

INTRUDr is the story of a world very similar to ours, one hostile to youth and those who have no choice to be financially independent. Its denizens waste away in monolithic and monochrome residential towers, leaving only to travel from paid gig to gig, unsure of the dangers they might face each day. Jane is a down-on-her luck petty thief who accepts an online contract on the dark website INTRUDR to rob an elderly man's apartment while he's away. Upon entering, she finds she's far from alone.

It's a harrowing tale that I hope speaks to youth out there struggling to make ends meet, specifically in regards to the physical and psychological trials we are forced to endure to make a quick buck.
