IT’S GONNA BE OKAY

Sometimes we can’t escape the feeling of loneliness, pain, and sadness.
After « Loving » in which I did an ode to love, I wanted to do a b-side and this time show sadness, loneliness, breaks-up, mourning…

In 2021 I released a short film called Loving which was centered on love. An ode to love showing a multitude of couples in love. The film, set to Patrick Watson’s «Je te laisserai des mots», has totaled over 200,000 views across all platforms, and was selected for the 1.4 Film Festival, was in international competition at the Très court film festival, and won the Shiny Awards in England.

I wanted to create a film that responded to Loving, as its «b-side». The two films became like two sides of a coin. One allowing us to be enthusiastic about the love we have or want and its happiness. The other, to accept the end of a relationship, a farewell, a loss or simply our loneliness and sadness, and to tell ourselves that everything will be fine… Two films each on an emotional power: love and separation, happiness and sadness.
