-What has been the greatest difficulty you faced in producing your project?

I think it is very difficult to find productions company willing to produce the genre of my films. I consider myself lucky. The Shadows Factory met my demands and respected my vision. In hindsight, the greatest difficulty was taking care of the direction, photography and acting in such a complex role.

-Do you think the film industry today has been damaged by political correctness?

Absolutely yes, but the worst thing is that this system is obtuse and hinders anyone who dares to question them.

-What was the greatest source of inspiration for creating your project?

My films are all very personal. Making “Katabasis” was for me an existence, a necessity. Of course, I am very interested in the theme of abuse, but I did not want to show a woman as a victim. The protagonist is on one hand dependent on the abuse she suffers, but a part of her is also abusive, indecipherable, willing to do anything to survive. Within certain limits all the characters in the film suffer and impart abuse. It is society that pushes in this direction.

-If you could ask a question to a great director from the past, who would you like to talk to and what would you ask them?

My first cinematic love was Ingmar Bergman. So, sure, I would have liked to talk to him. First of all, I would like to ask him if he has made peace with God.

-What do you think of the Wild Filmmaker platform?

I think it’s pure oxygen. A very important point of reference for those who work in independent cinema. I think it’s becoming a reality and it is destined to grow up more and more.
