Filmmaker Statement

Perception plays a big role in your memories, and looking back at some of my past memories, I wondered how many of them are actually true. Memories are an individual experience, and the question I started asking myself was “what if they could be shared?” Everything spiralled into thinking of memories as a tangible object, and that object being the only way to experience ANY memories you have. The thought of “saving” memories in different formats – paper, photo, audio – all play into everyone perceiving memories for themselves in their own ways. Everyone will perceive The Collector in a different way, mainly by bringing their own experiences and memories to the table, creating unique thoughts and ideas about Christoph's journey.
