Synopsis

A film where reality is captured, initiated, and staged. The timeline of the film is the advent season of December 2018 to New Year's day 2019. An echo from postmodern society, a contemporary mirror.

Statement

“The gray scale of life” is a vital element of my writing and film making in general. The mundane path we walk searching for happiness, looking for meaning. If we wander into the shadows then the knowledge of light is what can guide us, and when we step into the brightest light we only know how lucky we are because we know the darkness. In ECHO, I want to reflect on our contemporary society using the Christmas season as a frame. I use fragments of reality to express a narrative and the narrative to portray emotions. The reason I make films is to convey emotions and I always leave a strong personal imprint on the subject matter at hand. ECHO is a “Neo Vérité”, an observational cinema that captures the reality of life, a contemporary mirror.
