Director Statement

Claustrophobic and anxious, Zoology is about a young father, John, who carries with him memories of a not so pleasant childhood, and a longing to give his son, Jacob, a better one. Lost in his domestic setting, idyllic sequences are always underlined by darker thoughts, and a looming anxiety that can't be squashed by medication.

Alright, I’ve said enough. Just give it a watch and see where that lost boy goes.
