Director Biography - Joey Wojcik
There's not much to say that has not been told by anyone else wanting to be a filmmaker; our primary goal is to try and create unique and personal experiences, push the boundaries of visual storytelling, and go beyond the status quo.

I'd like to say that I'm very amiable, so if you see my work and are interested in talking shop, feel free to reach out anytime!

Director Statement
While in Boulder, I was writing in a cafe like you'd imagine any potentially pretentious exhibitionist would. After opening a new blank document, I lost myself in the flashing caret when I imagined an unsolicited commercial for Final Draft (a somewhat condescending unsolicited commercial). I have yet to make that commercial because when I found the time to do so, I imagined something more interesting: this piece.

The piece is named after the Depeche Mode song.

This is probably the closest thing I will ever do that could be considered a possible self-portrait.
