DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

“Mammoth” is a film about different ways a family struggles with communication and honesty. My (anti)hero is the father, a middle-aged man who cheated on his wife, can’t approach his son, scared of getting old and fearing death. He feels like a dying species – he’s the “mammoth”. His actions hurt the ones around him, and each in their weird, clumsy ways, tries to cope with their struggles: a woman hurt by his husband’s infidelity, a son trying to figure himself out in the midst of the scandal, a lonely grandmother who just wants to see her family more than once a year.
