Director Statement

Often we inhabit beauty we ignore. Caught up in the rush of daily life, we blind ourselves from most things and people around us. Only while daring to truly look into each other, we create genuine connections. By reflecting on our everyday moments, even in their repetitive or fleeting beauty, may be we rediscover a way to not just survive, but to truly live.
