Director's Statement

“Made” follows a conversation between two artists as they delve into the evolving essence of creativity in an age increasingly influenced by technology. The film present a utopian vision for the future, diverging from the typical dystopian narratives where progression leads to catastrophe. Here, the story explores a scenario where everything goes right, shifting the focus from survival to existential questions about meaning and purpose. Made whispers a poetic truth about our intertwined destinies with the digital kin we birth. Each frame of Made sings a ballad of collaboration, a sonnet to the union of human and artificial spirits. It was made to call forth the dreamers, the creators, and the thinkers to witness a convergence of intellect and algorithm, crafting a future painted in the hues of shared creation. It is challenging us to transcend the dusk of trepidation and sail into a dawn where machines awaken not as our successors but as partners in the endless journey of creativity. If life imitates art and art imitates life, does that mean there is no art without life?
