Terry Gilliam, Director: "I was very intrigued by the idea of disconnecting from the connected world 'cause we are so inundated with connections and information and I find it personally overwhelming to the point where I don't know what's important anymore and only by getting away from all the noise we live in, all the advertising, the media, the news, interviews - it never stops. The Internet, which I love also I hate because I can get lost in it every day. I can avoid doing what I should be doing by roaming the Internet. There's all sorts of stuff in there. It's hard to find the focus now of what things are and what's important and I think that seems to be part of the film for me and I'd become for a long time but just about just getting away from it all so you know who you are. Spend time on your own. No Tweeting. No telephone. No television. No games - just yourself. You could have a book or two, that's all, and find out who you really are (laughs)."
