Director’s Statement
In this film, I wanted to explore the way a woman may navigate the difficulties of her life by isolating and detaching herself from the world around her. Through an intense and rewarding collaborative process, we were able to illustrate Alexis’ deliberate indifference while simultaneously exposing her quiet and subtle craving to reconnect. I have always been fascinated with the ways we often mask our true desire as a form of self-preservation and it was exciting to explore that theme through Alexis’ world.
