Completing Heart String Marionette+ LIFE

Endika with the cast

Like any film creating HSM has been a journey... a production journey from idea-->script-->screen of course but also a personal journey for me as well...

One of my heroes Motokiyo Zeami -the creator of Noh said something about being interested in creating real human emotion on the stage...

And since this is our first production in StraNOHme... it is heavily influenced by Noh... and its our try at creating real human emotion on the screen... and I can say with confidence that my real human emotion is on screen... it almost makes me feel vulnerable watching it with the music... because watching the film has taught me things about myself... its like watching my life so far flash before my eyes.... I mean not literally of course but since I made it I know what really lies behind everything in the film... Its my own trauma.... my own sorrow... my own passion... my own tears... my own fire... my own sadness....

I don't have a faceHeart String Marionette is LIFE... the colors and sound that dance on screen are emotion... that characters can say whatever they want and go to and fro but its all about the EMOTION

Wait? What about LIFE?

The film is my answer... my answer to the questions I think a lot of people in the world are asking right now... that they never got answers for.

Their always watchingHeart String Marionette IS mental illness.... it is depression... it is sorrow...  Whenever I felt like I was going crazy or depressed or whatever it was always film or music that pulled me out of it... but it had to be where I was... I was always looking for darker and darker stuff because most of the stuff was too light for me to resonate with it.... but I always wanted it to have HEART as well... so with HSM I wanted to go DEEP into the darkness without losing HEART...

So with HSM....its a film I want to see... a film I want to feel.

In a world with more and more FAKERY we need more REALNESS in art.... as the focus is on perfection we need more FLAWS in our art... that's that I think... So HSM is my answer to the questions I think people want to ask.
