The Graffiti of Mr Tupaia offered the very exciting prospect of telling a dramatic story almost entirely in pictures: in sympathy with the core theme of human connection (and failure to communicate).

I liked being privy to the silent, often lonely, world of an immigrant school cleaner who is taken for granted and almost invisible to those around him. I liked watching him come out of his shell.

Graffiti is nearly a silent film. It was my first go at writing a screenplay, and I liked the challenge of being forced to think about writing a story visually.
