MARTHA’S DAY

This film exhibits themes of isolation, morality and existentialism. Bringing into question the importance and non-importance of time, simultaneously, Martha’s Day was written with the idea of metaphorically portraying the decision-making process that one’s psyche goes through when faced with an issue and/or uncertainty.

The film mainly showcases Martha’s point of view, the idea is to keep the audience wearing her shoes as often as possible throughout the film. The color palette, sound design and camera movements speak for her when it comes to her true inner estate, the idea was to keep the shots simple and continuous, dialogue to a minimum, and to have the story mainly rely on the ambience and audiovisual aspects of the film.

“I must say that Martha’s Day has been one of the best experiences on set I’ve ever had. The environment, crew, talent and generally the energy and process on set (including pre-production) was very fluid, clear, calm and filled with candid memories. What’s very particular for me about this project is that, only after watching the final cut, was when I realized that the story and metaphorical concept behind Martha’s Day was a direct reflection of a healing journey I needed to embark at the time. Thus, I hope this film in some way also touches someone else’s soul and it touches mine.
