<br />Director's Statement:
<br />
<br />This film was originally going to be a little over a minute long. It was going to be more for the sake of "eye candy" than anything else. There were to be crazy machines and scientists floating around in space. Eventually, I decided to delve deeper into the story of why these things were happening. What surfaced was a six minute film with heavy undertones involving alternate dimensions and realities, as well as lost love and the persistence of the human spirit. The imagery which shaped the film was a result of my being influenced by classic sci fi films and tv episodes that I'd seen growing up.
