Director's Statement

I wish to entertain, move and spark reflection with HEADHUNTERS. It is a film with a huge story to tell, but it remains unafraid to make you laugh or gasp in suspense. It’s a genre movie that wants to do more than be forgotten as soon as the popcorn has been consumed and one has left the cinema.
