Primal Rage began as something absurd—two monkeys, a classroom, and chaos. But as the story developed, it became something more personal. At its core, this film is about what happens when emotions go unspoken for too long. It explores jealousy, feeling overlooked, and the quiet resentment that can grow when love doesn’t feel equal.

The characters of Mark and Wark represent two sides of that experience. Mark carries innocence and a desire to be understood, while Wark embodies what can happen when hurt turns into anger and is never resolved. Their conflict isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, rooted in a shared past that shaped them in very different ways.

I wanted to tell this story in a way that feels unpredictable—balancing humor, awkwardness, and sudden intensity. The absurdity of the world allows the audience to let their guard down, but underneath it is a very real message about control, identity, and the consequences of unchecked emotion.

Visually and structurally, the film leans into a raw, almost chaotic style. The pacing shifts, the tone changes, and moments of silence are just as important as the action. That contrast reflects the instability of the characters themselves—especially Wark, whose actions are driven more by feeling than logic.

Ultimately, Primal Rage asks a simple question:
What happens when you never let go of the anger you carry?
