Where is the line between a heroic action and an unlawful one?
“Twisted” very much takes place within Michael’s imagination and recollection of events so we looked at films like “Inception” and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. It was a great challenge to grapple with a subjective world view and explore what things are like from Michael’s perspective.
Look away or intervene? When a black man is victim of unfounded, racial abuse in a packed bus, there is only one passenger who won’t ignore the situation like everyone else.
Great work comes from passion. There are no small decisions in movie making. A technical job is creative if undertaken by a creative person. I want to work with the best possible professionals who believe in the project, who agree with my fundamental vision and want to bring the themes of the film to life creatively. As long as we are working ‘on the same movie’ I am happy to give lots of creative freedom to my collaborators. I believe a film should be made with a certain attitude that infuses everything – in this case a cheerful good-humoured, but at the same time dark, cynicism. This film, above all, should be funny, but there is substance to the humour and it should leave you thinking.

Director’s Statement
As I was working as Doctor at hospital I often took care of seniors. While those were facing frightening metaphysical questions about death and life, we (doctors) prescribed them drugs to relax them during the night time, which takes less time than a real psychological support. As a matter of fact we got them addicted to those chemical substances. I saw myself as a drug dealer surrounded with (old) junkies. Once I wondered what happens when they are at home with friends. SHOOT GRANNY was born.
