Fitumi

"FITUMI" is a sarcastic commentary on our obsession with material success and the futility of constantly running after it.

FITUMI is an abbreviation of the commonly used catch phrase “Fake It ‘Til You Make it.”

Director Statement

Employing silly humor, repetition, and deconstruction, I question the accepted norms, and structures of our society. My shorts do not follow a traditional narrative. Rather, using minimal camera movements, I work with the connection of camera frame and reality inside and outside of it, as well as montage as one of the key creative tools to warp the reality and present it under an unexpected angle.
