Director’s statement

“I have a tricky relationship with computers - I’m not sure I understand how they really work and yet I rely on these things more and more all the time… makes me feel… vulnerable… I don’t like it and so it seemed natural to design a large, clunky, mechanical world that might be a-chug-chugging along beyond my keys and screen.”
