Director Statement

Cinema is a divine way of telling life.
Through its artistic and detailed impressions, we can imagine and live several lives through this.
I believe we can change the world for the better, and we can start from ourselves, and I believe that as long as there is life, there will be chances of change.
And I believe that the cinema is very important in all this, to waste with shallow films and without nexus.
