Director Merlin Camozzi teamed up with ARRI to make ‘Visions’, a short about the commitment that it takes to chase your dreams. Their pitch to the brand was simple—”filmmaking is like chasing ghosts”.
Camozzi says, “That’s something we really believe. It’s true in terms of story, because you have to catch your vision and lock it down before it vanishes. It’s also true of career, because it’s all a journey, with many ups and downs, and the struggle to get up every day and keep creating can be extremely real.
In order to do that, you need to face your fears and keep going, finding the magic that pushes you forward. This piece is a love letter to the struggle, joy, pain and elation of the creative process, straight from our filmmaking hearts, and getting to work with ARRI was a dream come true.”
