ABSENT

Cinematography, Directing, Film
2015

Absent is the name of this short movie, silent as was the "Reflected Drunk" posted previously. Produced in the New York Film Academy, the task was to create a story told by image and music only, without dialogues. The film is a disturbing narrative about love, selfishness and, maybe, cowardice, the interpretations possibilities are open. As usual, the script, direction and post production are mine. Performances from Alina Smolyar and Diego Medellin. The original soundtrack, essencial for the work, was composed by Marco Duboc, our partner in several projects.. Enjoy, discuss and share it.
