Director Statement

"The Solipsist" is a profound journey into the psyche of Eugenio, a thirty-something artist who is unaware that everything around him has been created by his own mind.

This project explores themes such as solitude and introversion, which can lead an individual to very dark places within their own mind and alienate those who seek to love them. The film invites the audience to reflect on how the ideas of the outside world manifest within their minds, uniquely but always tainted by the perception of the "self," where the most important people play a fundamental role.

Rated PG-13, this short film is intended for all those seeking a thought-provoking experience. The project's goal is to show the audience that life is filled with sweet and bitter moments. Ultimately, although life may not be what we expect, it is each individual's responsibility to pay attention to what we choose to value.
