Once is a visualization of a relationship that should have ended a long time ago. A metaphorical take on what it looks like when two people force themselves to stay together for whatever reason they can find to convince themselves is worth it. Once, they were sun and moon.
Directors Statement
This film is one that holds a deeply cherished place in my heart. It represents more than just a creative endeavor—it embodies the countless hours of dedication, struggle, and passion poured into every frame. There were many moments of uncertainty when we worked without financial compensation, driven purely by the love of the craft and the vision we shared. Despite the challenges, the sense of camaraderie and the drive to see this project through never wavered.
Looking at the finished product now, I feel an overwhelming sense of pride. Not just because of the artistic result, but because it represents the collective effort of everyone involved—the moments of doubt, the breakthroughs, and the growth we all experienced along the way. It's a testament to our resilience, creativity, and commitment. This film is more than just a final product; it’s a journey, and it's something we can all look back on with a sense of accomplishment. - Joe-Francis Kiaga
