Director's Note

Created during my time at film school, ‘Inflexibility’ was an early exploration of themes I’m still fascinated by: obsession, the pressure to succeed, and the complex dynamics of power. While the technical aspects reflect my early development as a filmmaker, I remain proud of the story and the performances we captured.
