Filmmaker Statement

“Citizen Zero” is a character driven story that follows Lulu on her journey to find connection and purpose in life. Set against the backdrop of environmental decline, societal indifference and pervasive loneliness, our protagonist’s desire for acceptance becomes a powerful driving force, leading her to consider extreme measures in order to belong. In this offbeat comedy, we reflect on the resilience of the human spirit, embodied by Lulu's unwavering determination in the face of impending doom. The film serves as a mirror to our times, offering a unique perspective on the absurdity of our world while celebrating the indomitable spirit that persists, even when faced with the looming shadows of uncertainty.
