Director Statement

The Camera is a short film that talks about personal isolation, about how we feel trapped in a passive life from which we cannot escape, but also about dreams that are confined as images that we look at again and again on a screen and that they fail to get out of it to come true.
In addition, the short film talks about inheritance and overcoming experiences trapped inside that condition a lifetime.
Through a fantastic story, this short film is definitely an ode to life and its experience, a push to launch into the conquest of dreams and to live fully.
