Director Statement
I have always loved the idea that we live multiple lives during our time on earth and I wanted to explore that through a character who is at a critical juncture in her life.
At its core, The Caterpillar plays on classic themes of sin and redemption, with our protagonist seeking freedom from the psychological bondage of past actions and behaviors.
This is a very broad-stroke description, as I want the audience to come to their own conclusions. One of my favorite things about seeing a film is the discussion afterward - particularly when a film is not presented in a linear and straightforward way. My experience in cinema exhibition has also inspired me to riddle the film with cinema metaphors. How much of the film is figurative I won't divulge, but my aim is to create a thoughtful piece that strays from the conventional route of storytelling.
