Director Statement

While thinking about this short, I was overwhelmed by the idea of going or not against family and social expectations. Event it engages our professional and and artistic future. Acknowledging the flame of creation and artistry, according to which we expect to live, most often go against our loved ones' views about life. It becomes a constant struggle to show what we are made of, until we succeed. Personaly, I'm still struggling, and this fight is portrayed through the harsh battle Womlin undertakes in this short.
