Director Statement

"Stargazer" went through many iterations during its creating process, but the underlining theme always remained the same: the feeling of isolation and loneliness, and the difficulty to connect with others even when you crave the company. The film's story is built on conflicts and contrasts, which unfortunately is a reflection of the time we are currently living in, as wee see two worlds - the natural and the industrial - colliding due to severe misunderstanding.
