Neal Fagan (Director): This film started as a story about sport and natural winemaking, but it gradually shifted to a story about pace, the pace we force on ourselves, and the one our bodies keep telling us to return to.
While making it, I noticed the themes of the piece sneaking into the way I worked. I kept wanting to “solve” the film immediately, to have all the answers figured out, the same way a sprinter wants to force speed. But the process kept asking me to slow down, to listen, and to trust that those answers will come along the way.
In a strange way, the film taught me the thing it’s trying to say: that patience isn’t losing or being lost, it’s an act of rebellion, it’s an act of devote trust.
A quieter kind of strength. I hope you feel some of that when you watch it and thank you to everyone who helped bring this film to life
