director's statement - alan king
'Family Circle' explores the suppression, manifestation and expression of inner turmoil and trauma. The film
deals with the primary themes of life, love, dreams, death and family. It was my intention to keep the distinction
between reality and dream-state, somewhat ambiguous within this project. Whilst in no way directly related,
'Family Circle' continues in the same dark vein as my 2019 short film 'Wild Will'.
