Inspirations for Breakaway

The following is a statement from Writer/Director Ivan Bukta about what inspired the story of "Breakaway" as well as the visual approach of the film. There are also some inspiration pictures below.

My love for psychological thrillers andhorrors stems from seeing David Lynch’s groundbreaking TV series "Twin Peaks" when I was 11. What I loved about the series and the film prequel, "Fire Walk with Me", was the beauty of a mystery, the juxtaposition of horror and beauty, as well as the structure of a puzzle in which a viewer has to put the pieces together as he/she goes along with the story. I attempted a similar thing with "Breakaway". Anothe rtouchstone for my film is Maya Deren’s experimental short "Meshes of the Afternoon", with its use of symbolic elements such as windows, halls, mirrors, and staircases, as well as its interplay of light and shadows.
