Filmmaker Statement

Eager to make a horror of the "Freudian" variety, playing off the imagery of German expressionism, "Mars in Nude" was an exploration of the power-play in male/female relationships. The intent was to capture the vulnerability a misogynistic man might unwittingly subject himself to if he is incapable of allowing "woman" to have more nuance in his mind, instead of remaining "virgin" or "whore", where she holds ultimate power over her as either 'slave or despot'.
