Filmmaker Statement

I wanted to explore a story of a woman mentally processing something while engaging in intense physical activity. Tennis in particular is such a mental sport, and it seemed like the perfect setting for something disturbing to invade the mind of our protagonist, really getting under her skin in a physical way, but also in a way that would likely go unnoticed by her opponent. I wanted to create a visceral experience that people can both relate to and also be forced to question the silent handshakes we all make with ourselves.
