director's statement | alan king
I was challenged to look at new ways to approach the telling of this film (Wild Will), primarily born from the
fact that I shot the film by myself in the kitchen of my apartment (pre-Covid, before shooting film's by yourself
in your apartment was a thing!). As a result of this, I kept both shot and location selections, stark and finite,
whilst increasing the audio presence in the narrative. This somewhat un-conventional approach, helped me
to complete the film solo and to facilitate, a more intense and unsettled audience interaction with the lead
character 'Will'.
