Ineffable

Ineffable means something that causes so much emotion and intense sensations that it cannot be described in words. The concept represents this overwhelming feeling, beyond words, that you arrive at when you are in front of a wonderful aspect of existence, manifested in a person, in a situation, or a piece of art. Ineffable is that heart-place you reach in your hero’s journey when you realize there is nothing more else to do than surrender to the play of life (in awe!), and to bow with deep humility.

That’s how I named my creative start-up, as the aim of my film and art creations is precisely to provide - even if only a glimpse - that sacred experience, reminding the audience that we exist as infinite beings, beyond our humanity and beyond what our intellect can grasp.

Filmography

23

The age of 23 seems to mark a pattern in my female lineage: 23 was the age of my grandmother when she had my mother, and it was the same age in which my mother had me. Now that I am 23 I decided also to have my first baby: this movie. My attempt is to clarify a key issue of my upbringing: the reason why I was raised by my grandparents instead of my parents. This documentary not only explores my search to obtain that answer and describes the main characters of my childhood, but also unfolds the conflicts that I found along this filming experience.
