Director’s Statement

The film questions the origins, motivations and consequences of artistic creation: how much of ourselves bleeds into our work? How much does the opinion of others influence what we do? To what extent can Art be interpreted as the artist's psyche? 

The narrative extends over numerous realities, from the straightforward main story line to behind the scenes footage of the actual crew shooting the movie. This purposeful break in structure stems from the need to prove that the common assumption that there is a "correct" way of writing and making a movie is wrong.
