Director Statement

I wanted to create an allegorical story about Space travel that seeks the possible foundation and meaning of the human existence. An antitode to nihilism. This is how the character astronaut William Florescu, an American of Romanian origins, was born. A prototype of the no border human dreamer, since his childhood until old age. Everything else is a filmic metaphor of life, which mix two of my passions. Both aesthetic and romantic: (the seaside scapes, with the infinite sea, the sun, the strong breeze) and the Astronautics science field (with its Space shuttles, the Retro visual designs of the '60s, lot Space stuff details, atmos, Space scapes, etc.). A blend of my inner searches and the day by day findings.The Fourth Sunrise is the second part of the Arthouse Feature "The Astronaut of God", also having the main character, in young astronaut William Florescu.
