Filmmaker's Note

Seeing Him was a challenge in terms of story telling as it operates on several levels, dealing with truth and lies in relationships. For me it’s a modern day love letter to those who have loved very deeply, with all the pain that comes with it. Visually we also tried to convey the joy of love too, by shooting on Cooke anamorphic lenses and working hard to differentiate mood within the grade.
