Synopsis
How do you solve a puzzle if you don't know what it's about? That is the question asked by Jigsaw as you enter a non-chronological crime thriller that pieces itself together in a rather unique fashion.
Meet a cop with a problem, two gangsters about to execute a masked and bound man in a forest, a hit squad advancing on a targeted house, and a lone man moving into a dank apartment.
Who are these people and what are their motivations? Watching the puzzle piece together is the only way to find out.

Personal statement
Scott Staven says:
"A conventional story told unconventionally. I wanted to make a film that challenged the audience but paid off in the end. I hope that after it's over there is cause to ponder it and that in the very least it is an experience. Because of the non-chronological nature of the telling it led to an endless edit.
I finally had to choose a path and stick to it, and subsequently I aim to do a few more linear storylines before taking on a project like this again. I achieved one of my main goals when undertaking this project which was doing it solo.
From pre-production through to post I did everything myself other than compose the music and managed to keep the budget to well under micro budget standards. I am very happy that it's getting a chance to be viewed."
