As a versatile filmmaker, Vital can take on multiple roles such as director, producer, screenwriter, editor, and even actor on rare occasions. His passion for filmmaking began in childhood when he shot movies with friends on his father's Hi8 Sony camera. He then rediscovered his love for film when he auditioned as a dancer for a commercial and was drawn to the production process. With his partner's encouragement, they learned about filmmaking, creating their first cinematic dance video and attracting requests for similar projects. Inspired by this success, Vital and his partner began making short films with a new cinema camera, focusing on pre-production preparation, directing, and post-production. Vital also discovered his love for screenwriting and honed his skills by writing his first feature screenplay and then a few others. After successfully completing smaller projects like music videos and dance videos, Vital has shifted his focus towards narrative filmmaking, where he is in development of his first feature.
The concept for the film InteGr8 was born when Leya's phone died and we had to replace it, while discussing potential advancements in the near future. During this conversation, we speculated about the physical appearance of individuals if phones were permanently attached to them and from there, the narrative of the film took shape.
