“The Driver
unfolds a short poem about a train that is on a compulsive rush to an unknown destination.
It is inspired by a period in my life where I had to spend many hours on a train for work.
The story of the train conceals an allegory to the challenge of putting a stop to self -destructing patterns.
Whereas the poem and the film are inspired by an individual perspective, it makes a statement on society as well; over its apathy and its lack of ability in embracing well-needed change.”
