Filmmaker Statement

Ctrl + Esc is a very personal story, reflecting a journey I know too well. Having endured a toxic relationship for four years, the themes of this film resonated deeply with me. Exploring the challenge of letting go after a painful end while navigating the intriguing landscape of artificial intelligence brought together two worlds that felt uncomfortably familiar and painfully poignant. With this film, I aim to shed light on the emotional intricacies that come with escaping such relationships while adding the thrilling dimension of technology. I hope the film provokes conversations around how we handle heartbreak in an age increasingly shaped by algorithms and digital personas. Working alongside this talented crew, I've strived to tell a story that resonates with anyone who has faced the complexities of human emotion and its interplay with the evolving world around us.
