DIRECTORS STATEMENT
Given that this project is in its’ early post production state I can’t mention much about the finished product, just my vision of what I hope for it to become.
Being a gamer since childhood, I’ve always dreamt of being able to do animations – and now that I found the perfect project to merge my two favorite hobbies in the world – videogames and movies – I’m beyond excited!
The animations will work as an extension of the protagonist Aleiahs mind, and how she sees within herself. The audience will have an even deeper understanding of how she uses the concept of Pigeonholing, and might even stop to think about how they, themselves, use Pigeonholing in their every day normal lives.
Since this is heavily based on my own life experiences, I won’t touch base on exactly what is fiction and what’s not. I can however say that I myself, survived many years using the same concept of Pigeonholing that the protagonist does.
