Director Statement
In today’s world, where layoffs and unemployment are becoming the norm, exploring the struggles of both employers and employees feels crucial. With “Bringer”, I wanted to shed light on how both sides are trapped in a survival loop, often too consumed with their own challenges to consider each other’s perspectives.
Through a seemingly silly situation, the film aims to bring empathy to these characters and spark conversations about their shared crises. Humor, I believe, is a powerful way to connect and provoke thought about these pressing issues.
It’s vital to highlight these modern struggles, and that is the core objective of “Bringer”.
