Director Biography - Remy Despesse

Remy changed his life and disconnected from almost everything a couple of years ago in order to explore his creativity and starts sharing his experience and uniqueness - film-making being a good option for that purpose. He’s an empath and finds it easy to direct actors in a creative flow. He envisions the film-making process as an elevating and transformational group experience. He considers writing to be the most intense ... and rewarding creative endeavour possible. He is dedicated to create positive visions of the future. "Our reality is a projection of our imagination."

Director Statement

The process of overcoming our fears to dis-connect from a manufactured and “safe” life and move bravely toward a conscious life and our authentic purpose in life is painful at times but blissful … and necessary in order to reach genuine happiness. Sunny demonstrates our invisible bond through the process of self-liberation. The story builds the bridge from personal shift to collective evolution. We all aim to the same destination. We are One.
