BZRK lives deep in my soul. As a young man, I never backed down from a fight, I drank too much, I battled anger issues, all of which culminated in anxiety and panic attacks when I was 24 yrs old. My life changed, I was no longer “invincible” as I naively believed. I needed help. I needed to change.
This experience introduced me to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, therapy, meditation, and stoicism and opened my eyes to the amount of judgment and injustice that permeates our lives. You need only recall recent socio-political drama, the shootings, the violence, and the hate the world hosts - dwell on that for a moment - that feeling deep in your chest - that is the fuel that drove me to create BZRK.
I’m excited to give a physical manifestation to the anger we all feel at times, the helplessness we experience as the “little people” in this big world; to give life to a powerful story that features a character, filled with conflict, but who fights back. There is no sci-fi apparatus Anders needs to access his power; it’s within him, waiting to be unleashed, its potential is immense, but to use it means facing his fears and so a choice must be made.
The vision I have for this film is done. Every scene is envisioned and planned, I just need to film it. With your help, I can create something I’ve dreamt of for a long time.
Thank you for your time & consideration.
Chandler Clarke
