Director Statement
The film is a sanctuary where I express myself more easily than with words. As a “life reflective” filmmaker I tend to pinpoint personal issues and resolve them through the lens of film. My art-making practice has so far included no dialogue; instead, I lead the characters to reveal emotion, focusing on the mood created by strong visuals and music. Memories from my childhood and adolescence influence my perspective as well as my time working in fashion, which inspires my visual sensibility.
