About the movie

IF LIFE IS A JOURNEY,
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?

A young man escapes his routine to find out what he truly wants in life. His friends refuse to participate in his endeavor, so he goes alone and arrives further than he ever would have dared to dream.

HOW DO I WANT TO USE MY LIFE?
WHAT AM I AFRAID OF?

To reach his own answers to these pounding questions of life, filmmaker DAVI.IN turned himself into a character and staged his semi-documental quest for meaning all by himself on a four-months journey through Asia. The resulting mix of live-action and animation proves how limitations can release great creativity and presents the mood and style he plans to continue in his first feature-length film.WATCH TRAILERWATCH THE FILM ONLINE

THERE ARE NO LIMITATIONS

Hi, my name is DAVI.IN. Since I was a child, my one true dream is to make films. As I grew older I learned to doubt, convinced that dreams were impossible to achieve. And so I waited.

Until one day, I got up and started looking for a way to make it possible. I combined everything I had learned in my many years as a multimedia Art Director, Programmer, Animator, Editor, Photographer and Director into creative solutions to tell my story, discovering new ways and styles of expressing myself I had never thought of before.

With this short as creative origin and mood, I am currently expanding the story into a feature length film.
