We look back on the age of early humans with self gratifying modern eyes. Have we really changed so much? Where in our evolution did we go wrong? What have we lost of the cultures of old, and what do the current ones teach us?
Living in a postmodern era, are we no longer in awe of the world? Discovery has become destruction, development has become refinement. What about a world where two simply perceived eras meet?

This was the final result of several months of costume, prop and scriptmaking, and was my first art film made properly in colour. It was perhaps slightly overambitious but I feel lots of the ideas I was trying to convey got through. At university it did not get a satisfactory grade, but all other public reception has been overwhelmingly positive, especially when compared to my other work.
