Director Statement

SOUTH OF HOPE STREET is an irreverent, absurd Sci-fi allegory that plays in 2038. I show a world with individuals that cannot fathom supernatural global changes. People live in angst, denial, and rising autocracy while a world war III is spreading slowly... I clash the forced conformity, the repression, with a celebration of mystery, poetry and adventure.
