As Deeken reflects on her urban journey, she expresses that 'it was a conscious decision not to be scared. It's like no one is going to scare me; I’m the nutter here.' This determination became a driving force in her filmmaking process, enabling her to delve deep into storytelling without fear overshadowing her creativity.
In discussing her film, Deeken poses a profound question: 'Is she the victim or the perpetrator - or is she both? Or is she even in control of herself?' This ambiguity plays a crucial role in how the narrative unfolds, compelling viewers to explore the psychological complexities of her character.
Deeken highlights that her film, A Place Without Fear, 'touches upon areas of abuse, but it's also about taking charge of certain situations,' indicating her desire to create a narrative that explores both trauma and empowerment within the labyrinth of girlhood.
