Finding Groovopolis

A man seeks fatherly advice by creating scenes from a never-produced comedic screenplay written by his late dad. The scenes eerily show up in and influence the filmmaker’s own life, yielding an excavation of family, legacy, and navigating adulthood.

On the Impossibility of an Homage

Given a portrait, who is responsible for the image we see, the painter or the subject? Ion used to be a a rockstar of Ballet in Communist Romania. When we first discussed the possibility of a portrait, Ion was initially thrilled. He’d been dreaming that someday there’d be a film about him. But during the filmmaking process Ion finds it hard to let go.
