“Suburbia”
From afar, suburbia may appear a sort of utopia; but be sure to gaze beyond the veil of the glass, for dire horrors and troubled intimacies will arise in the most unpleasant of forms.

Director’s Statement
This film is an expressionistic and rather theatrical look into the intimacies that lie behind closed doors within Suburban life. Whether that be the comical, the lustful, the tragic or even the horrific sides of our everyday lives that we hide beneath the veil. It is also a practice of voyeurism; with the entire film being shot through windows, doors, and door-frames, looking inwards from the outside world. I am rather proud of this film, and I am very thankful for all who assisted me during the production of the film. It was made as part of my Creative Digital Media course for college, with an emphasis upon editing and composition.
