I'm Listening To You

After being unfairly criticized and excluded by the members of the film set she is acting on, an insecure actress feels lonelier and lonelier as the days go by.

The only person she can relate to is the sound guy of the set, who is also yelled at constantly because his passion for recording sound leads him to be excessive with his job.

In a moment of solitude, she expresses all of her frustrations out loud, hoping that somebody would listen to her. She then looks up and notices something unusual - The sound guy had been recording her voice the whole time!

That moment sparks a curiously absurd romance between a woman who feels like she has finally found somebody who cares about her, and a man who is too engrossed in his boom to notice.

“I’m Listening To You” shows us what it means to share a close human connection in a curiously unprecedented romantic comedy with deceptively funny sexual themes and imagery.

Director Biography - Alexandros Liossatos

Alexandros Liossatos is a 21 year old Greek filmmaker, whose
native language is English. He is currently based in Berlin.

His desire to create stories that bring joy to others began on a school playground in a foreign country, Switzerland, when he was 12 years old. Too shy to initiate conversations with his new fellow schoolmates, he found himself with a strong desire but also a strong fear of connecting with others.

One day, at a school winter camp, he was given the chance to write and perform a comedy sketch in front of his school year.
When he was met with overwhelming praise, he started to realize how much he enjoyed using art as a means to have a positive impact on other people's lives.
From that point onwards, he continued using humour and art to form bonds with the people around him.

In 2020, he decided to pursue storytelling professionally by starting his studies at Catalyst - Institute for Creative Arts and Technology in Berlin, where he seeks to hone his skills as a writer, director, cinematographer and editor.
