Rotunda

As someone who has experienced loss firsthand, I know all too well the way it can cling to you, a constant weight dragging you down even years later. It's difficult to let go of the pain, to move forward and live in the present. That's what inspired me to create Rotunda, a film that delves into the reasons why we hold onto certain things, what is healthy to keep from the past, and what can prevent us from fully embracing the present.

To bring this story to life, we embarked on a journey that took us across the world. It tested our skills, patience, and the limits of our emotions. We wanted to create a story that would stay with viewers long after the credits roll. We wanted to create characters that leave a lasting impact. To be with them as they traverse Europe, to care for them as they confront themselves and each other, and to experience their tears, laughter, heartbreaks, and joys.

To capture the raw emotions and authenticity required to make this film resonate, I relied heavily on the exceptional talents of our two lead actors. Their chemistry and unique personalities were essential in creating a realistic and honest portrayal of the characters. We took an improvisational approach during filming allowed us to capture spontaneous and lifelike moments that added depth, richness, and honesty to their performances.

At the core of Rotunda lies the exploration of the complexities of loss and the human psyche. I aimed to create a film that invites the audience to become active participants in the mystery. I hope that our immersive storytelling style inspires viewers to contemplate the significance of confronting past traumas and attaining closure by breaking free from the cycle of self-harm and coming full circle.
