Filmmaker Statement

Human connection through physical touch is a lifeforce energy. It’s as critical to our survival as is the air that we breathe. In this homage to touch, two beings explore these forms by way of the high five, handshake, and hug. Steadily the fire is lit and a connection is made. Standing the test of time, these visceral, bodily, mortal connections remind us we are still alive. Synchronicity being the master. Firmness being the gauge. Vulnerability being the superpower. Without them, we are powerless. I leave you with the undeniable force of nature found in the hive five, handshake, and hug.
