Statement of the Director/s
Who owns reality? Who defines where fantasy begins? DISSONANCE seamlessly transforms from an animation into a live action drama, reflecting the mental journey of a psychotic poor street musician. DISSONANCE was made to radically challenge the known borders of film genres and unite different cinematic worlds through storytelling.
