It’s a 20min face filter film where the characters question their own self-image out loud as they talk to and even gossip with selfies and inanimate objects. Reflecting on technology, loneliness, and the role of digital environments in everyday life. The film was part of my graduation project at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and won the Department prize of Interactive Media Design. It was also nominated for the Young Talent award, the #Am Latino Film Festival and the Lift off Sessions Film Festival in the United Kingdom.

Novel (2020) was shown at Reneenee in Amsterdam, Empatheatre in Copenhagen, Filodrammatica in Rijeka, Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, 1646 in the Hague.
