I'm not somebody who believes that darkness is something that should necessarily be hidden from children or anything like that.

In the past, I've never tried to discount or stop what people are saying because on some levels I find it interesting.

Most of the actors in the film have Down syndrome, ... Originally this was going to be a short film to promote to corporate entities that it's a viable idea to work with a cast with Down syndrome.

I usually describe it as, 'Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, pipe and how to get home -- as tormented by a hubristic, racist inner psyche,'.
