Director's Statement:

In my work, I try to combine absurdity and extravagance in style with authentic experiences and grounded performances. As a woman, it is important that I make films that insert a female point of view and tell stories that unravel certain societal standards applied to women. 

 

I am interested in creating worlds and making surrealist films that explore different realms. Everything in the frame should be purposeful and visually stimulating. The contrast of high style with authentic performances in my films make for a truly unique, fun and poignant film that is always driven by a strong female point of view.
