"When directing a film or producing an artwork I always look for connection. I relate to story and character through what I see. Working on set with Piers I noticed his was a different approach. Piers wasn't looking for story he was listening for it. When most were distracted by the business of a film set Piers remained focused on the subtleties. The sound of water, birds, a car door opening or bicycle peddling all became characters and voices in their own right. Piers energy was of someone discovering a sound if not a whole world for the first time. When an individual brings so much value to their craft it is infectious for the whole."
"The sound scape of the film was an enormous challenge. The film was not following any obvious narrative structure. We entered this film as artists and poets. We would not know the film until we had it. Piers and Micheal approached this work courageously. Their design was not held in any preconceptions of the story but rather became a response to performance, movement, composition, rhythm and the shift from interior/internal to exterior space. As a director I wouldn't want to work in any other way. Their understanding of the film grew with the sound scape they created and in turn the sound took on depth. The intelligence and exploration they brought to this process was integral to forming the powerful, unsettling and lonely mood of the film."
"I am ever grateful to the contribution of Piers and Micheal to this film and look forward to making more work together soon."
