Director Statement

Bellefaire was a singularly beautiful project. The most challenging part was figuring out how to represent complex notions; de-personalisation, isolation and entrapment, while staying relatable for teenagers who might be facing those situations. We relied allot on visually impactful colours to convey the fluctuating feelings of happiness, uneasiness, fear and the hopelessness that represents the emotional journey of the victims. The client guided us on real-life experiences and how to best to depict them, and I hope that visually the viewer experiences the emotion and empathy in this film
