EGG /DIRECTOR'S NOTE

I intend to begin the shooting with Egg, the third chronological story in the trilogy to be titled Honey, Milk and Egg. The films will be shown in reverse order, i.e, as Egg, Milk and Honey.

What I'm looking at here is a longish cinematographic flash-back. All three films take place in that present time.

I hope in this way to narrate the burden and pain of passing time so that I may be able to invite everyone to remember and think about his own time. We all have mothers and it is highly possible that much is hidden in the time we spent with our mothers, and the time we are no longer able to spend with them.

I am of the view that time is the raw material of cinema. The time, space, and-therefore--the persona itself of Yusuf, the protagonist of Egg, is evidenced within the cinematographic boundaries as delineated by Bresson, Tarkovski, Satyajit Ray and Ozu.

For me, film-making is an entirely metaphysical and philosophical endeavor.
