Director Statement

NEUL未知ND is a concept trailer coincidentally created for three different initiatives. The story is based on my dramatic thriller in development that begins with a scene prompt writing assignment from a graduate film application, shaped under the theme, “undiscovered territories” or “neuland” for the 36th KurzFilm Festival Hamburg Three Minute Quickie Competition. Once committed to challenge, producing and securing locations within a few weeks of the competition deadline in the midst of winter was rather stressful. Editing under the three-minute requirement was even tougher. But with a talented cast and crew and a super-star post team altered what began as my unknown into a powerful proof-of-concept that we hope audiences become excited about.
