Director's Statement: Over the course of this project, what struck a chord most with everyone is the problem of what the hell do we do with all our stuff after we're gone. It is clear that people equate physical objects with a sort of eternal life, a way of leaving our mark on the world. In this film, the question becomes all the more powerful because we are not merely thinking about possessions but about a lifetime of artistic creation.
