Director Statement

Inspired by the idea of “Un Chien Andalou” by Luis Buñuel, we wanted to make a short story about the process of creativity, it’s ups and downs, colored by a touch of surrealism. Consulting books, taking a break, revisiting your story; those activities may help, but there’s not a unique way to keep us in constant touch with the realm of ideas… sometimes the only thing we can do is to wait for light to come.
