This is a very personal project for me.
It started as a simple poem, in a moment when only words could express what I was going through.
Over time, I gathered friends and turned that poem into a film. A painful process, but also a deeply liberating one.
I’m truly grateful to everyone involved for their patience and for giving so much of themselves to bring this film to life.
I hope it speaks to you the way it spoke to me.

Esse é um projeto muito pessoal para mim.
Ele começou como um poema despretensioso, em um momento em que só as palavras conseguiam processar o que eu estava passando.
Com o tempo, eu reuni amigos e transformei esse poema em um filme. Um processo dolorido, mas profundamente libertador.
Só tenho a agradecer aos meus amigos pela paciência com o processo e por se entregarem tanto para que esse filme acontecesse.
Espero que ele fale com vocês da mesma forma que falou comigo.

After a long time I’ve built the courage and time to make something special happen!
This film is really important because not only has it made me fall in love with the craft again, but it also marks the launch of @shootandrun as my side label for special projects!
I’ve written this film some time ago and when @ste_rib showed me her board for @theocroker “One Pillow” i knew it was the perfect moment to materialize this love letter.
It’s about the courage of not letting go.
Thankful for the entire team for making this possible.
