Filmmaker Statement

"He wears a mask, and his face grows to fit it." ― George Orwell, Shooting an Elephant My first short film in the fantasy/thriller genre inspired by the Stanford Prison Experiment. The film is an allegory in which the children's game is the game of life. Everyone in life at a certain stage takes on a role that they want or don't want, this sometimes conflicts with the self-identity that person has and creates confusion and helplessness in him when he no longer has control over his own identity.
