Director Statement
Guilt is a topic that haunts everyone sometime during their lifetime. In German folklore there is even a personification for that haunting feeling: the Drud. A creature that comes at night and sits on people. Its pressure is so strong that the person who tries to sleep is not able to breathe anymore. I found that combination between folklore and this very human experience so interesting that we produced a short about it to express this certain feeling.
This is one of the things we do best
