Artist Statement

I have a love for cryptic storytelling; this film is certainly an expression of that. The premise arose from thinking about the roles rumination and yearning have played in my life, as well as my fascination with industrial relics. The art style of the film was influenced by my interest in old computers and point-and-click adventure games and is meant to facilitate a visual numbness heavy with grief and nostalgia.
