For the Benefit of Mr K

From the earliest point when I started to make film one of the biggest influence on my way of thinking came from Franz Kafka In particular the titles Castle One and Castle Two made symbolic reference to Kafkas book The Castle In this book like The Trial the central fictitious but firstperson existential character was K clearly in part an oblique but intentional reference to Kafkas own name The short video sequence used in For the Benefit of Mr K was shot in the little street in Prague showing the small house in which Kafka wrote The Trial The title is also a direct reference to the song by the Beatles The sound track is a short sequence discovered by my son of the Beatles rehearsing this song in the Abbey Road recording studio
