ABOUT THE FILM
In 2018, I had a vivid dream where I was chased by a cow,waking up startled. This dream became the inspiration for The Cow.
With encouragement from friends,I decided to document the experience
and develop a film around it. The cow symbolizedfear and absurdity,
leading me to explore these themes through surreal imagery. With
minimal resources and the support of collaborators,the film came
together as a reflection on vulnerability and the unpredictability of life.
The Cow is now part ofmy professional portfolio,representing both
a personal and creative journey.
