Director Statement

The main reason for creating this film is mostly to give an idea, to the average person, what a Seaman is sacrificing so he can provide for his family. The only similar situation everybody experienced was while at Quarantine because of Coronavirus spread.
This film was also inspired because of the 30's year old crisis we all go through at some point. Life seems like a fight for recognision, career success and money earning. Suddenly you realise years passed behind your back and you didn't do exactly what you wanted with your own life.
Unique techniques and methods were applied all over the project.
- I used the Phi (Φ) Fibonacci Grid, the Original Golden Ratio of Ancient Greece and I used it as it is, not stretched or cropped for the “Cinematic” Aspect Ratio of 2.4:1.
- Most of the sound effects were recorded manually, including the voices on the VHF from all over the world.
This is my first movie, I'm the producer, writer and director, I created the music, I edited all the footage, so this is a final product directly from the creator.
