Director's Statement (cont.):
That being said, in order to succeed as a narrative film, a movie must function on its own as a work of art with its own merit apart from synthesis, reference, and criticism. I hope that The Thin Time is able to stand on its own as an enjoyable and emotionally charged experience, indeed a story, but one whose narrative experience is one more of emotional satisfaction. The film is a journey, as all narratives are, but one that hopes to allow itself to break free of its theoretical superstructure to arrive at a place of growth and change. In the end, The Thin Time can be read as a call to arms, insisting that artists do not have to move or create within a preconceived structure.
