Director's Statement


I wanted to portray the anxiety of living in isolation during a pandemic in a creative way by combining some elements of science fiction and psychological horror to present the feeling of dread in our global situation while highlighting mental disorders like Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) to increase awareness.
