Private Project

Reus

A man in white takes a drive in the night, thinking about happy memories, only to forget he’s driving, hitting and killing someone. This causes the man to suffer a surrounding inner and outer turmoil that follows him in the dark and light, in the form of a deadly cycle that repeats itself, over and over again. He can’t seem to escape, but will do anything to try… no matter the cost.

Director Statement

Ever since I could remember, all I ever wanted to do was watch a movie. That has never changed. The only thing that has is now I want to take part in making movies myself, providing passionate dedication to each project and film I create, recapturing those unforgettable moments others, including me, experience every time we walk into the cinemas.
