When I initially designed the sound, I wanted there to be a full expression of it for deaf and hard of hearing audiences to actually feel the sound design. Deaf people can experience sound. But they don’t experience it the same way we do. So, I pushed those vibrational experiences.
I am always trying to understand the individual, the hands, the face, the person I am following and how they felt about what was happening to them. I think that takes it out of a place of violence for violence’s sake. It takes it out of a place of spectacle, and it brings it into the intimacy of a human interaction, violence being one of them.
"The script is very spare. I guess that would be the resonance with my poetry. There is not a lot of dialogue, of course. The lines are short lines. It is only 60 pages. I wrote more than what ended up being in the final script. I embrace brevity."
