Director’s Statement:
I thought of the idea of this film while sitting in traffic one day. I came across an accident on the highway and the wrecked car looked similar to the one I was driving. I thought to myself, "That could have been me." So then I started writing the story for this short. When I present the film to people, everyone has a different interpretation of what the film is supposed to mean. I find each interpretation to be valid. There is a universal fear of death among all humans. Even though the events in the short are surreal, the feeling one gets after watching the movie is relatable. It was a joy planning and executing this film, and I hope to make more films in the near future.
