Director Statement

"We made the film with a budget of 2500 EUR (3000 USD) and shot everything within 12 days. It was a great challenge but also a lot of fun.

When telling stories, I try to focus on human emotions and authenticity. A lot of my inspiration comes from directors like Paul Greengrass, who approaches movies in a more grounded way, with a style similar to documentaries."
