So, this is the film for ’The Puzzle’ - a multimedia project created during lockdown.
Its pretty abstract, but under the surface its theme is pretty simple: Its a visualization of an inner dialogue, and the consequent recognition of that dialogue.
The story is based around a protagonist (in this case it was me, simply because I couldn’t hire an actor at that point in time) and how every decision we make is informed by a lifetime of unconscious internalization of events from our past. The internal dialogue is always chattering away. Breaking that cycle is how one would ’solve the puzzle’.
Its in two halves... after the chaos of ’The Puzzle’, part 2 is the companion piece ’Snuggles’, and exists in the aftermath, (sort of ’outside of time’ in a way), and as such is more of a ’meditation’ than an active film.
it was a very important moment for me, so I wanted to share it online as very few people got the chance to see it when it came out. It was definitely a big undertaking.
Ill get into the other things that were created for it this week, including the various albums, graphic novels, novels, box sets and toys. It was a pretty ambitious project, but was very much something I felt very compelled to do for myself. This one was definitely ’for me’ so thanks for the ability to do such a thing.
Equal parts ’artsy’ to ’fartsy’... ’The Puzzle’ was one of my favourite things Ive ever been able to actualize, and I loved making it. My hope is that some of you may like it too.
Thanks again, truly.
