Themes: Isolation/Connection between humans, nature & technology/hope which can move mountains/exploring new ways of thinking
Director’s Statement:
With "Living In A Bubble" I wanted to explore what we as people and our world have been through in the past months. I dive deeper into the world of isolation and the connection between humans, nature and technology.
I asked myself, "If everything falls apart, what is there that keeps us going?” The answer is HOPE. As long as there is hope we have the power to leave that desperate place we are in and search for a better future. Who knows maybe something unexpected will happen?
