Life Patterns-eco-adventure film
This is a 5 years work project with the input of Andros Epaminondas, Stanley Kubrick’s right-hand man
A beautiful story that highlights issues of personal fulfilment by connecting two contrasting worlds: the western fast-fashion corporate industry, and an uncontacted tribe in South America. There are many highlights in this story… One is that “COP30" happens in Machu Picchu and that the local indigenous have an unexpected intervention on the event...
Life Patterns tells the story of a famous fashion designer that struggles with issues of unfulfillment due to working in a dehumanised industry. At the zenith of his career, he disappears from the world of fame, luxury and money to find hope and meaning through an unexpected magical encounter with a tribe in the remote Andean Amazon. A macro story of how as a human race in the pursue of material things and the love of money, we lose track of the essential things in life and with it, the sense of what it really means to be alive.
This is feature film can also be written in episodes for online TV series.
