Director Statement

Verso Mare nasce in un periodo pieno di incertezze, dove i dubbi sono stati paralizzanti. Il cortometraggio parte da una condizione analoga e analizza il viaggio per ritrovare se stessi: lasciarsi andare alla realtà in cui viviamo e fare ciò che ci va di fare, apprezzando anche il raggiungimento dei piccoli traguardi.

Verso Mare comes from a time of uncertainty, when doubts felt paralyzing. The short film mirrors this state and delves into the journey of rediscovering oneself: letting go, embracing the reality we live in and following our passions, finding joy even in the smallest achievements.
