What If You Fly
Our Judges say:
A beautiful short from Renan Ozturk with an innovative angle and concept.Claire Carter Writer, Film Officer for Kendal Mountain Festival, 'Creative Consultant'.
Hawaiian artist and muralist Sean Yoro (a.k.a. HULA) travels to the arctic waters of Baffin Island, Nunavut, to paint a portrait of a local Inuit woman on the sea ice. This is the most technical and remote location that Sean has ever attempted a mural, and the wild forces of nature at the top of the world are unpredictable. But for Sean, the physical and creative risks are worth it for a chance at something new.
“There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask "What if I fall?" Oh but my darling, What if you fly?”
― Erin Hanson
