SHAKESPEARE'S KING LEAR - A NEW FILM

Director's Vision


Today, wherever you turn, the world is erupting in violence: murder, torture, rape, carnage.  The list of atrocities seems endless.  More and more we see life treated cheaply, brutally, in such a meaningless way.  The pain and suffering are beyond belief.  In spite of this, as a director and filmmaker, I’ve always believed that artists can make a difference. Lear is a man at war with himself; his actions belie his essence. Emotionally induced madness is often brought on by an overwhelming accumulation of lies that the subconscious rebels against.  The manifestation of madness is the body’s and mind’s defense against total physical destruction.  Immoral actions do not induce madness in those whose essence condones them.
