Overview

Execution

The film is steeped in visceral atmospheres but it doesn’t use artificial light in a gimmicky way. We are in a stunning desert landscape that is giving us an amazing cinematic landscape naturally. We are harnessing the power of fiery sunsets and atmospheric dusks to create a visual texture that feels natural. As the film progresses the tones are getting warmer; starting in a slight bluish cold tonality and warming it up as we get to the desert; where a glorious sunset awaits us. The aesthetic of this film speaks to a certain elegance but also taps into emotions and sense of humanity that skews towards poetry and the surreal. A documentary-like way of capturing expressions and actions but yet grounded in a cinematic world. We are playfully using techniques like double exposure and adding elements of controlled chaos - a nod to something we all experience in our lives.
