DIRECTOR STATEMENT





In the middle of 2019, I faced a family tragedy that made me question my mortality and the purpose of life. What does it mean to live? What does it mean to be a human being?  My desire to grapple with these questions led me to 8:05 AM Late Fall. Interestingly, the main premise for the film came to me in a dream—perhaps my subconscious was attempting to answer all those questions.

The film explores Matt's “dream” journey, from his mind (monochromatic, singular perspective) to his heart (a complex, colorful, and sensual space), and eventually to a more transcendent realm, where he reconnects with the ironic and joyful parts of himself.
