artists statement - A man, nameless because he represents your everyday man, decides to stay late at his job to finish some paperwork, not realizing the strange series of events that is unfolding. This leads to the hellish realization that he is stuck at work, with no way out, which in turn leads to this mans loss of hope and surrender to despair. This video stands as a simple metaphor for how a growing number of people feel in corporate America everyday, proven by the amount of depression medication prescribed by doctors daily. I mean to show this metaphor to the audience by allowing them to view this character in his state of helplessness. When was the last time you felt trapped at work?
I had a great time filming this and i feel like i gained lots of good experience when it comes to knowing what to shoot for and setting up for continuity and making sure you do not catch your reflection when there is so much glass around.
