DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
CALDERA is inspired by my father's struggle with schizoaffective disorder. In states of delusion, my father has danced on the rings of Saturn, spoken with angels, and fled from his demons. He has lived both a fantastical and haunting life, but one that's invisible to the most of us. In our differing understanding of reality, we blindly mandate his medication, assimilate him to our marginalizing culture, and entirely misinterpret him for all he is worth. CALDERA aims to not only venerate my father, but all brilliant minds forged in the haunted depths of psychosis."
CALDERA is focused on the mental illness: Schizoaffective Disorder. A mood disorder that causes one to lose their grip on reality, and have their mind wander in states of delusion.
This puts an even deeper twist on this Twisted Reality contest theme.
