"No one is entirely evil, it's circumstances"
Quote from Louison Delicatessen, 1991 film.

Forest Murmurs is a film made in response to an idea about a concept rather than a process. While Jonathan freely admits that technology has helped create significant parts of the film, he is also very aware that a fertile imagination and a need to inform through animation fuels his work. He believes that films that "experiment with narrative to create a sense of authenticity that is closer to real life experience and feel more believable" are of more interest to him.
