Director’s Commentary:
“This film is an exploration of “asynchrony”, in response to legendary artist Ryuichi Sakamoto’s call for short films inspired by filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, using music from Sakamoto’s 2017 album. The title track “Async” serves as both the film’s soundtrack and conceptual inspiration. The film was an official selection in the 2017 Async International Film Festival.
