Bestiary — Director Notes:

This film was made a long time ago.

At the time, its director was still a young wunderkind who probably thought he knew what he was doing (Plot twist: he does not).

The film was intimate. It was strange. It was about sorrow, and about the things people carry with them after someone is gone.

Then we let it go.

It travelled to places we never expected. It was watched by people we never knew. And slowly, it became less about the people who made it and more about the people who found something of themselves in it.

After one of the premieres, an old woman came up to the director. She spoke a language he didn't understand. He spoke a language she didn't understand.

But she wanted to thank him.
She told him that Bestiary reminded her of someone she had lost.

And for a moment, the person who made the film didn't really have anything to say. Because there she was, standing in front of him, carrying a feeling that had nothing to do with him anymore. She had made it hers.

I think that's one of the strangest things about making movies.

You spend so much time trying to make something mean something.

And then, if you're lucky, someone somewhere finds their own meaning in it.

Maybe that's why we make things in the first place. Maybe someone will see this, far away. Maybe they will feel something they thought only belonged to them.

And maybe, for a little while, they will feel understood.

Maybe that's what happens when you make something.

You let it go. And sometimes, it travels farther than you ever could ever imagine.

We confuse endings with awakenings.

We keep fingerprints that time never learned to erase.

Sometimes maybe we exist in glances, in stolen moments, in words left unsaid. And maybe that’s all we ever were.

Maybe everything was never meant to be understood.
