Drop

The journey of a single drop of water becomes a meditation on the fragile state of the world.

Director's statement: "Drop has been a labor of love for several years. The idea was born six years ago, while I was working as a director for a broadcast design company. Though my skills at the time were almost entirely film-related, I was surrounded by talented designers who used sophisticated design and animation software. As I also happened to have a rather wide-ranging passion for movies (I love many experimental and independent films, and am also quite fond of Star Wars and The Matrix), it occurred to me that it would be very interesting to make a film that combined the power of cutting-edge computer software (essentially, the technology of George Lucas) with the soul of Bunuel, Magritte and David Lynch. It has taken a number of years to bring this idea to fruition, mainly because, lacking the money to hire talented digital artists, I've had to become one myself -by learning and mastering a number of intimidating software applications. Fortunately, I've managed to complete a film that I'm very proud of and, in the process, developed a new way of thinking about filmmaking."
