ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
Dutch and Indonesian filmmaker Bear Damen spent most of his early and teenage summers sailing with his father around the world on a small sailboat. As simple as it seems, as a writer, Damen likes to find out why people often understand each other so poorly. He has previously directed the short films Song and Bae Doven.
