Director Statement

NECTAR began as an experiment without a script. We traveled to Iceland with only a Super 8 camera and an openness to explore, capturing landscapes, people, and fleeting moments with no predetermined story. Everything was improvised, a process of discovery where the images guided us more than any plan.

Only afterward did the story of a queen bumblebee awakening in human form reveal itself. That sense of improvisation—of not knowing where the film was leading—became central to its spirit. NECTAR is less about control and more about surrender: letting nature, instinct, and chance shape the narrative.
