Even If We Are Islands (2025)

A focus puller in the midst of a professional crisis embarks on a journey to the last remaining lighthouse keepers. What begins as an external quest evolves into an internal narrative where the filmmaking process intertwines with the stories themselves. The lighthouse keepers reveal to her another way of being in the world. This film is a letter to her nephew, and to all those who wonder why we tell invisible stories. It is an ode to documentary filmmaking, to its light and shadow, to its power to capture what is on the verge of disappearing, as well as to illuminate one's own path. Embracing life as a journey will bring about a professional and personal rebirth.
