Accompanied by a mix of soundscapes and music, Concrete Jungle juxtaposes different living creatures with manmade architectures. It is a reimagination of how nature should reclaim its rightful place amidst the busy and deafening city life.

Director Statement

I am a city girl who loves nature and I always dream of a balance between the two. This film is my reimagination of how it would be like if I don't have to "escape" the city in order to enjoy nature.
