Project
During our stay we will work on the script for Sealskin, my first feature film as a director and screenwriter. The premise of the film is that women are disappearing. As in the world we live in, where female bodies disappear and often this is not even featured in the news. To Beauty I add a spark of magical realism: the ladies gradually become transparent until they finally disappear.
