Director’s Insight
Stuart Gatt, delving into the film’s focus on human emotions, highlighted the universality of such themes, noting, “It’s wonderful that a story from Texas gets the same reception everywhere.” When discussing his choice of a dark subject for his debut, Gatt explained his fascination with the darker aspects of human psychology. “American films focus more on positive emotions, but as humans, we struggle and go through different emotions. Maybe my childhood also played a part in picking the subject,” he reflected.
“Catching Dust” promises to be a gripping exploration of human emotions, power dynamics, and the quest for freedom.
