Malcom is he who watches, he who has got an invitation from within. Shall he follow it or shall the necessary deed be left in the mirror of thoughts?

Director Statement

Since childhood I’ve been glued to the window of many possibilities, or as we call it, the television screen, the silver screen. From the get go I understood that what’s being displayed is not real, which made me abandon traditional kids entertainment, & was since then much more fascinated of mature storytelling.

I aspire to create profound visual & auditory spectacles that’ll make sure to blow people’s minds. Intricate stories with levels of depth within both its intrigue & its characters, while trying to define reality & what it means to exist within it.

Always had an innate desire to tell stories, even if they were perceived as lies.
