My First Film

Picture a typical movie poster. One featuring a young woman looking away, like she's ready to leave. It's beautiful, and makes you want to watch it. Unfortunately, you never will.

A meta-cinematic reflection on artistic ambition and failure, where a filmmaker's retrospective look at her chaotic first project becomes a meditation on youthful hubris, creative intent versus reality, and the gap between artistic vision and execution.

Vita revisits her first attempt at filmmaking 15 years prior. Shooting a semi-autobiographical film starring her friend Dina, Vita’s eager but inexperienced approach causes the production to spiral into chaos, leading to significant disruptions and a near-fatal accident.
