Filmmaker's note
I am interested in the connection between nature and destruction and how those elements can talk about contemporary topics to portray moments, atmospheres and microcosm, where storytelling is free from the constraints of traditional narrative. My films often reveal an interest in duality: life and death, light and darkness, beauty and decay, which are concepts I develop through a poetic approach and are a constant themes in my previous work as a fine artist. Immersed, my graduation film from the Royal College of Art, explore the notion of the beauty of decaying of natural wild life, and how those contradictory elements might be portrayed in a mysterious way. An atmospheric piece, which has been inspired by the landscapes of southern Chile, specially the flora and fauna from Patagonia. Places that I had visited in my childhood and others that I had imagined.
