Director Statement

For this first film I wanted to make a project that would be a collaborative exercise with undiscovered talents from France's marginalised youth.

This story comes out of many older stories and articles, imagining how raw passion might go unfettered in the extra judicial space of an empty island.

Many kind thanks for watching, and sending all very best from all on the team that made Kassandra,

Ivar Wigan
