Breakbeat follows the story of a man whose life just seems empty. He works from 9 to 5 with no partner, no ambition, no feelings. Over the years he has built up an emotional shield that is close to collapse. The man begins to see things that are not really there. Delusions that make him feel emotions again. Eventually, the man learns to stop running from madness and accept his emotions.
Together with Krijn Moons (Alchi) and Samuel van Keeken, we started observing this film in a small setting, without the hectic pace of a fully scheduled script or a large crew. This gave the freedom to experiment on set, and in editing.
