Director's Statement

DEPARTURE was an interesting inspiration from the beginning. I had just finished a conference call with my script instructor and the idea on my head of writing this script caused me sleeplessness till early in the morning. The next night I went through the same torment, so I finally decided to write it… and slept like a baby.

About a year later the co-director, Adriatik Berdaku, approached me and picked this script among those I showed him.

Using the covid19 “stay at home” order, we finished editing this film that is now competing in several film festivals.
