Director: Patricia Luna

Synopsis: Conceptualized during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, this short film was inspired by producer and composer Peter Rotter’s experience working remotely with his employees and colleagues during the worldwide quarantine period, and his efforts to find and foster joy through his work despite the lack of in-person physical presence and connection.
