Director Statement

"This experimental short film is a dream come true: being able to recreate a film that harks back to its origins through the techniques and aesthetics of primitive cinema was a real honor for me.

We didn't use lights, we didn't use professional equipment and things like that... just a camera, its tripod and our passion for cinema: I can't wait to show everyone the results of our hard work."
