Director Statement
Nuclear explores characters and themes that have intrigued me for a long time, with its intense emotional story playing out in a world where reality and unreality collide. It is an emotional psychological drama with supernatural elements, it has a twisting narrative, where our characters transition - from this life to the next, from childhood to adulthood, from revenge to redemption.
