Director's Statement
As I was exploring stories to write for my second feature film, certain dreams haunted me and did not stop until I started writing this story. Me and my childhood friends come from normal working-class families. At the same time our world felt unique. The sarcastic humor, violent behavior, and parents who didn’t really seem to have their own lives together. On top of that, in my family, the belief in meaningful dreams and supernatural senses. BEAUTIFUL BEINGS brings these elements together. It is a story about friendship that is full of youthful energy, hope and confused feelings. About a group of boys that feel somewhat unwelcome but find support in one another.BEAUTIFUL BEINGS brings up the questions: What is true friendship? Can boys who seem like bad influences still be good friends? And finally, how do you find your own path? What is the importance of listening to one’s intuition? As a filmmaker my hope is to give the audience an authentic sensation of being a teenager. We should experience the boys’ world like we are there with them.I love the visual and poetic aspects of film and I am a strong believer in the importance of the stories we tell. I went into filmmaking because I aspired to move people and enrich their senses, like many great films have done for me. I hope that BEAUTIFUL BEINGS also does that for some, with a story about friendship, the importance of role models, self-acceptance and intuition.
