Filmmaker Statement

We are growing more and more dependant on machines. But dealing with modern technology seems like an unfair bargain in which we are exchanging security and connectivity for dependence and loneliness. On the other hand, technology is one of the main reasons for the development of civilisation. Is there a line we don’t have to cross? Or our future is related to deepening our connection with machines? This is my third short from my self-teaching program and with it I wanted to explore more of the impact of set design and music in cinema. We had to tell a futuristic story, but we were on a very tight budget, so we chose the retro futuristic style. It was a great pleasure creating all the small details of this imaginary world. Being a musician enabled me to further enhance the story. This is the first time I dared making the sound design and writing the score for the film, which made me realise the power of music as an abstract voice, that additionally explains the story.
