CAMERA INTENSIVE & SHORT FILM
PROJECT, September 2019

We are accustomed to hide our feelings… Throughout our lives we are doing counter-exercises; we are doing everything we can to confine our feelings under our skins so that we show nothing and radiate nothing… All is masked; all is hidden. We must exercise … to open ourselves and show to the audience our souls… (Michael Chekhov)
