Director Statement

With 'Six Feet of Separation', I wanted to make an uplifting love story during the depressing COVID-19-era. It follows the story of the couple, Dina and Noah, who live separately in London and try their best to overcome the challenges they face during lockdown. The story is about compassion and hope, and is based on our experiences during lockdown and the lives we lived during the pandemic.
