Filmmaker Statement

Porker is a confrontation—with shame, perception, and the residue of years spent being seen as something less than human. I wanted to tell the story of a man who carries not just his body, but the weight of a thousand quiet humiliations. It’s not a redemption arc. It’s not a plea for sympathy. It’s a scream behind a closed door, a reckoning between self-hatred and self-awareness. This film is deeply personal—not because I am this man, but because I’ve known what it is to fear being seen the wrong way. The performance is raw, the style is restrained, and the setting is claustrophobic by design. I hope Porker lingers in the mind long after the final frame, not for shock, but for recognition.
