Director's Statement
I made this film as I am fascinated by the science fiction genre and the storytelling possibilities and how it can be used to comment on today’s social issues. I was also excited about creating a futuristic world through the use of visuals and sound design. But ultimately, my main intention was to just create an entertaining short film that had some meaning.
