Director Statement

Embarking on this project was an absolute joy. When my daughter came to visit for a few months, what better way to spend our time than by creating a short film together?

While not initially conceived as a passion project, it evolved into a heartfelt ode to classic sci-fi films. Setting up the equipment, crafting the meteorite, orchestrating the lighting for each scene – it was a collaborative endeavor that allowed us to revel in the creative process. Our shoots lasted 5-6 hours a day, spread over several weeks, immersing us in a shared world of imagination.

To add an extra layer of nostalgia, I also filmed a Super8 version of the same story, which will be released soon.

Reflecting on it, I realize this became more than just a casual project; it transformed into a genuine passion project. Nothing extravagant, just a father and his daughter enjoying the filmmaking journey together. Shot in Marietta, GA.

And, as fate would have it, the film has now been nominated for Best Cinematography at the prestigious "Misfit Pond Film Festival" – a recognition that we are truly honored to receive. Winning the Best Cinematography Award is a testament to the passion and dedication we poured into this project. We are thrilled to share this achievement and look forward to more cinematic adventures in the future.

Thank you for being a part of our journey!

I hope you enjoy the result of our shared enthusiasm!
