AGAINST ALL ODDS

DOCUMENTARY

"Films are made to be not made..." 

– Guillermo del Toro

Dive into the gritty, unfiltered world of Nicolas, an independent filmmaker who took a loan to bring his childhood dream of making a feature film to life.

This short documentary follows Nico and his minimal crew as they battle the elements to wrap their 11th day of production. 

Nico's struggle, determination, insecurities, and endearing clumsiness reveal the beauty and complexity of his obsession for cinema.

This film is a tribute to the unstoppable need to create and the power of collaboration in achieving a shared goal.

"I challenged myself to create a short documentary in a single day." 

As filmmakers, we often block ourselves by overthinking and waiting for the perfect idea or the perfect conditions, which can lead to inaction.

The one-day constraints of this project helped me to push past those barriers and just create something, which ultimately proved to be very rewarding. 

This project was not only a testament to creativity and resourcefulness but also aimed to prove that we often overlook the hidden gems that are right in front of us, and that not all compelling stories require years of planning and production.

My hope is that this film inspires others to take risks, embrace imperfection, and discover the incredible stories that surround us and are waiting to be told.
