I review, select and curate films as a festival volunteer. I'm also interested in music, literature, pottery, and theatre. I play the ukulele and practice aerial yoga. I have worked as a production assistant and subtitler at a festival, and my ultimate goal is to pursue my filmmaking dream, learn from fellow film lovers, evolve as an artist, and promote intersectional cinema.

Director Statement

The main idea for “Deeper” sprung from personal experiences with - and conversations about - what could be described as depersonalization. With this movie we want to convey what it's like to feel that you become distanced from yourself and the people around you, and how that sometimes serves as a reaction to stressful situations. Other themes include the struggles that often come with creative expression, as well as anxiety, phobias and generational trauma, in particular fear of abandonment as portrayed in the relationship between our protagonist and her mother and projected on her relationship with her oldest friend. Our goal was to tackle these themes with the gravitas they deserve but also to sprinkle them with a ray of hope.
