Director Statement
In astrology, the Saturn Return is when the planet Saturn returns to the place in the sky it held at the time of one’s birth. This typically takes 27-30 years, and it’s believed to line up psychologically with a person’s first trials of true adulthood. It’s a time of uncomfortable growing pains, but the person is believed to have left youth behind and enter into their authentic self when it completes. Two to Look, One to See is inspired by this concept and explores existentialism through a fantastical lens.
