Experiencing Interruptions?

O_CE_AN

On an unnamed beach, OCEAN (a woman made of clay) is waiting, hoping to gain the freedom she dreams of. The passionate hands that protect her are also the ones that imprison her. Discovering her strength, she does everything to break the barrier that separates her from the world. HERE and NOW, it’s all or nothing.

Director Statement

My proposal in life is to create powerful stories to share and inspire audiences around the world. More than just offering strong emotions, I dream about a new wave of powerful films in this era we are experiencing right now, for positively impacting people to live life better, by a wider and more sensitive vision.

To make films for me is about waking up humanity witch will be getting more sensibility to a real-life, rich in feelings, self-care, empathy, deep perceptions, and a concrete evolution of being.

Good histories in films can change people's lives for the better and I wake up every day for making it happen.

I am very grateful for having such an amazing team around. With a dream team, we can do anything.
