Filmmaker Statement

My affinity for Fredric Brown's storytelling was kindled with a previous film, "The Weapon," which marked my initial foray into the rich narrative universe of this celebrated author. I have always been captivated by Brown's ability to weave the ordinary with the extraordinary, to ensnare the mind with compelling twists and resonant human themes. Thus, when the opportunity arose to delve into another of his creations for my thesis, it felt like a natural progression—a chance to deepen the relationship between adapter and source material. "The Hobbyist" is more than an adaptation; it is a re-imagining, a conduit through which Brown's narrative brilliance is both honored and revitalized. The story beckoned me with its latent aesthetic potential, which I sought to fully realize through the medium of film. My vision was to craft a cinematic experience that encapsulates the suspense and the subtext of Brown's work, to create a piece as visually arresting as it is narratively comelling.
