“Overseas” is a short film created during the challenging times of COVID-19 pandemic. The film explores themes of separation and resilience, mirroring the global experience of isolation and connection. To ensure the safety of the cast and crew, we adapted our production process to maximize outdoor settings and utilize online collaboration tools. This unique approach not only influenced the narrative but also pushed the boundaries of traditional filmmaking, resulting in a project that is both innovative and reflective of theera it was made in.
