The Story
As a filmmaker I’m intrigued by questions such as how our environment shapes us regardless of our intent. Or how emotions can cause us to act in a way that would normally be considered irrational even by our own standards. Do I see a character’s actions as immoral or if I analyze the circumstances that brought them to this particular place, can I justify them?
