Filmmaker Statement

I used this film to reflect upon my own struggles and sacrifices as an artist. I have often felt as though my quest for artistic perfection was so consumptive and draining that I didn't have much left of myself to give to those around me. That impossible struggle pervading within every artist is highlighted in this film, as Edward is caught in his own cycle of self-destruction. I also sought to combine many of my artistic passions into a singular piece, creating a world of poetry and writing and music and putting it to screen.
