3films - Director's Statement: What?

‘3films’ is the working title of a series of 3 short vignettes in the secret lives of several disparate characters; part of a pentalogy of 5 films, which are in turn inspired by the 5 human senses. Each film is a micro-short of no more than 2 minutes in length, and will be screened in conjunction with each other as a collected narrative piece of no more than 15 minutes.

Each film blossomed from the seed of a random daydream, or the excited epiphany that follows the inadvertent observation of something that interested me on the way to work or school in the morning. They are among other stories that
write themselves, that are hastily scrawled in a Moleskine notebook I keep in my back pocket. They exist in this compendium of 5 because of their anthropologically sensorial origins. Their stories are separate, but because of their common source,
share the themes of connection/disconnection. Human beings are strange, social animals – these films are a small testament to that.
