Director's Treatment

What Made You Interested to Join the Three Shots Festival?

Apart from this being my first experience in joining a film festival, I thought that the concept of telling a whole narrative through only three shots was an interesting challenge. I've always been intrigued by powerful and effective storytelling, and this festival allows me to have just that.

What Is Your Inspiration Behind This Film?

I would say I drew most of the inspiration from my and many other people's experience during the pandemic. I could imagine that everyone on a global scale just had the same problem of monotony, repetition and stagnation. This film was in a way, my expression of those same emotions.

What message do you want to convey through your film?

As the title says, I want to encourage everyone to reach out. Oftentimes, people would simply never tell others about their struggles for the fear of being a burden to them. While there are good intentions, this could be a way of setting themselves up for self-destruction. Leaving all these emotions inside and not being able to vent and release these emotions could have people in worse situations.
