Experiencing Interruptions?

The Chemistry of Emotions

I was asked to create a film branded by Moellhausen, a leading company in the industry of fragrances and flavors.

The concept is based on their motto 'The Chemistry of the Emotions', with the focus on the emotions triggered by fragrances and flavors.

The film is a powerful mix of evocative images of emotions, aimed to hit not only smell and taste but all senses.

The footage is entirely original as the soundtrack.

Director Statement

I'm really passionate about this project because even though is was commercial, I had the possibility to express freely my vision.

I spent a lot of time researching the right imagery, then looking for the locations that matched the initial ideas. I think the most of the images well represent the power of the emotions triggered by smell or taste.

Overall, as a young director and filmmaker willing to learn and improve from each project, I'm quite happy with the result, and I hope it will bring more exciting projects soon.
