Director Statement

I had the good fortune to collaborate with Choreographer Christina Liakopoyloy for Fox Keeper. After viewing her choreography I came up with this transitional video. Based on the poem Fox Keeper by Margaret Wesseling, its an allegory for the migrants who find themselves ensnarled by the world they find themselves in and the hope of freedom.
