I broke down word ‘conspiracy,’ separating Y, adding a question mark - Why, why, why are there so many unanswered questions. We employed fast cuts, continuously shifting compositions by moving camera on select stills, in process creating a sense of urgency and a feeling of agitation and constant motion. The images suggest numerous questions - Is that a clandestine rendezvous? What happened behind that police tape? Who is skulking in shadows? Is someone in that sea of faces guilty, and of what? This is why we want viewer to watch Conspiracy? and make up his or her own mind as to what really happened”, explained ZONA Director/Creative Director Zoa Martinez.
