When I shot and directed “Immunity” it was one of my favourite shoot. I spent only 6 days in LA and also shot a music video and attended to red carpet in that short time. However I had no idea how many hidden symbolic elements will be in this film. I always loved the imagery, but I didn’t know I will transition in a few years. This image which I always loved is full of with emotions and desperate fragmented almost suicidal symbolism. I was so down those years its almost hard to even watch the film. I still love it and its still valid, but new layers emerge now (like with Cry of the City) and it has so different meaning then I thought it had. I wonder if the whole Americana, pulp fiction / b-movies vibes were just a cover up of deeper meanings and issues.
