La Folie

A vibrant short film, that's completely mad ✨🪩

La Folie is a visual treat of colors and whimsical non-sense. Based on the idea of "folly", three characters spend their time daydreaming in a nonsensical, vibrant world.

Director Statement

La Folie was such a treat to work on! Living in a world where color and visuals are the story, we really enjoyed experimenting with what we wanted to say. I tend to work around general themes of daydreaming, curiosity and child-like boredom. La Folie exudes those visuals that inspire wonderment. Thanks to all the hard working collaborators who brought my vision to life.
