Director's Statement
My journey on BLACK ICE started six years ago. At that time I got the idea to tell a story of a woman who creates a fake identity to get acquaintance with her husband's mistress. This idea kept haunting me, and the more I thought about it, the more personal but at the same time universal it seemed to me. I wanted to show where a common enough situation can lead us when the chain of lies is not interrupted.
I wanted to write the central characters as complete and believable as possible. Therefore I wrote the story as first-person prose from the point of view of each of the main characters before finishing the actual screenplay. Although the characters do not make the "right" choices in the story, I wanted the audience to be able to identify with each one of them.
In BLACK ICE, trust is violated in increasingly complex levels by all the characters hiding behind lies, fake identities and masks. I hope we have succeeded in having the audience momentarily identify with a character who they have felt hate or prejudice for.
