Four strangers participate in a psychological experiment in a dark space with nothing else other than a table and four envelopes. They are payed 100.000 yen to sit in there for 10 minutes, but this won’t be as easy as it seems…
Inspired by Zen culture and Japanese minimalism I wanted to make a film where only the actors and their reactions were truly the centre of the story. It was a challenge to place the set in the dark but it really helped me to bring the plot to the essence of what it means to be human. Our life is a big mystery that we constantly try to solve. So I believe that is when we face the irrational that our highest human nature is expressed. Script was both for me and the actors a trip to the essence of our rationality. I like telling stories that challenge the audience to solve a mystery along with the characters so everyone can feel part of the same experience. Script was my first short film and a mystic experience that made me realise that movie making was what I was meant to dedicate my life to.
