Director Statement
"The Mori" - A cinematic desire to show the tremendous mental struggle that a person goes through during a process of change. My father, a man who sternly ran our life, as was delivered to him by his father before him, serves as one of many inspirations.
The artistic vision dictated the use of little text, color choice, historical and cultural choice, time and place. The harsh hand with directing and editing creates a unique flow which gives the film its own language as we go through the struggle of the characters.
An authentic artistic language that accompanies and compliments the complexity of the main character and, in the hope of creating empathy that is familiar to many of us from our own family unit and tradition.
