Filmmaker Statement

Matrimony isn't necessarily unifying. Although Love fills the dissonant elements in our psyche, marriage has an adverse reaction that also drives us to contrast and compete. The concept of marriage to me is untruthful, and its veil can easily deceive its tumultuous tendencies. I'm quite opposed to the philosophy of inculcating happy endings to sell the narrative without inviting the complexity of it. Even with all of this being said, I can't help but feel drawn to it. I'm guilty of finding a movie appealing after the director has explained its subject to me. Which I plugged during the husband and wife dialogue. Beth has posited the great invention of 'panels' as the audience will likely miss something that profound in his work. I must address the extensive dialogue between the two, as they simultaneously exert hostility and intellect to overshadow their disdain/jealousy for one another through plausibility. If two writers were to present arguments, they should well be articulated and not empty which will lead one to believe it's envy. To me, Beth is the epitome of Jerome's shadow, and she's (it's) upset about being tucked away. (Reference to Carl Jung)
