dIrector’s   statement

With Intimité, I ask: can we truly control human nature especially when it comes to the messy origins of artistic creation? If spontaneity is the key to the genius of our collective unconscious, how wide do we open that Pandora’s box? And as our ways of expressing emotion and narrative evolve alongside institutionalized empathy, what happens to the individual voice? The film playfully pokes at the tension between artistic chaos and institutional control. Lucky for us, our intimacy coordinator played by Julie Ann Emery leads the charge, adding dimension to what her role truly brings to the table.

Intimité takes a Larry David meets All That Jazz approach with a darkly funny look at our attempts to corral human instinct, akin to herding cats with a god complex, and all the chaos and comedy that follow.
