Director's Statement
With Spring Cleaning, we wanted to explore the reality of keeping secrets within a marriage in order to save it. Both characters in this movie are hiding something to protect the other and are prisoners of their own device in different ways. Tonally, we wanted to play with a murder mystery that devolves into farce. In life, our secrets seem so overwhelming and important, and ultimately we’re just ridiculous idiots running around trying to save ourselves. The color palette goes from rich ambers and oranges to the stark whiteness of a morgue. Ultimately, even though the characters have seemingly met each other on a plane of truth, we return to the shadows and depth of the beginning, realizing that we all have our secrets, and they very rarely all come fully to light.
