Smokescreen is a simple story about a complex concept; grief. Although grief is a universal experience, it's intangible and there's no apt dictionary definition for it in any language, much like the smoke and silence Teddy constantly conjures for himself.

It aims to observe Teddy on his literal and emotional journey, in a way that would happen in real life.
I was interested in creating a very 'human' film, by focusing on characters, their emotions and how they exist in time, without relying on large cinematic moments.

This was an incredible challenge to tackle such a theme and keep it grounded, but it was achieved by a dedicated crew and external stakeholders who grounded the film in authenticity and veracity throughout all stages of the production.
