Max Levy

"These days, I feel a certain claustrophobia whether I’m inside or outside, escaping from one form of pressure to another. I feel I’m walking a tightrope of sanity doing what I do: to choose to make art and dance for this one lifetime I will get. It feels like an alleyway with no room to move, yet simultaneously an oppressive openness where I don’t know where to begin. This experiment was to see if I could capture that scratching paranoia of these tentative times into movement; then to capture that movement to film. This is my first film work, and I wanted to learn something specifically within this medium."
