HAROLD & LAILA 
Writer / Producer / Director
Screened at the Barbican - March 2023​​

The writing of the story started right before the pandemic, which led to a year delay in production and many different versions of the script. We managed to catch a window in the summer of 2021, and filmed it with an extensive team and equipment, which elevated the storytelling (note the sophisticated time machine element!). 

​​

Synopsis:

A young girl is building a time machine to reverse a life-altering event, when she meets her neighbour who offers her technical advice. As their relationship grows, they find out they're both going through similar experience, and in the end - help each other deal with their pain.
