Filmmaker Statement

"With “FROM.BEYOND” I wanted to make a film that captured the feeling of gazing up at the night sky, a pure sense of wonder and awe, hammered to death by the messiness and horrors of humanity. I wanted to use found-footage sensibilities to tell a global story, visualized as a mixtape of different formats and perspectives. Lastly, I wanted to make a film that gave me and the crew a space to experiment with storytelling and aesthetics in a way that opened up the filmmaking process." - Fredrik S. Hana (director, co-writer)
