Director Statement

In the film Phoenix I am researching the female experience and narrative of transformation and life cyclical nature. The protagonist is a woman who went through a lot and still finds beauty in this world and celebrates this with dance and music. I personally think that this is the real freedom of human beings and what we should aspire to.
