Director’s Statement

“Another Satisfied Customer” was an AFI Cinematography MOS project. I was really glad that Anton (the cinematographer) approached me because it’s a such a wonderful challenge to do a story within 3 minutes with no dialogue.
And this idea actually started with a bad breakup. A woman, who needs to be saved, can’t be saved. I was “killing” myself in a way. It was supposed to be this dark, brooding piece about “yeah…romantic suffering,” but the absurdity of the narrative took over. Funny enough, I had my catharsis nonetheless.
