Director Statement
I have always loved film and always wanted to make films. When I was a kid I would set my alarm and get up 3 in the morning and watch films from my parents video shop.

I had watched Schindler’s list.

Plugged out is a meditation on the absence of society and what’s revealed in the silence of one’s own presence
While plugging out from society because of autistic burnout, I brought an old camera to take photographs of the beautiful rural landscape. Then the film maker in me thought, why not share the value of plugging out with others who might feel completely lost in their own lives? Others, who might need to isolate to find their own answers.
