Director's Statement
Workout is my ultimate passion-project, it’s an exploration of obsession and self-improvement but most importantly our expectations of ourselves – and how sometimes we go too far. I hope it can bring some attention to the mental health of young men, who too are affected by the media and society’s expectations of the human body.
