Under pressure to perform and meet the pending deadline director Joey de Leeuw turns his own situation into the concept for the film. From struggling to deal with his ego and his ambitions to the liberating moment he frees himself from it all, this film is a beautifully shot testament to the creative process.
Shot on 16mm film outside Calais in France we see a young man – actor Yassine el Ouardi – picking up and desperately trying to carry a very heavy rock up the cliffs before the sun sets. When at the top he catches his breath and he lets go of the rock, freeing himself from his metaphorical burden as well as the heavy load the film crew had to lift in the filming process, doubling the 180 degree turn in the process.
Creator: Joey de Leeuw
