VEDA is a CINEPOEMA made by Lola Lustosa and Vanessa Cokaric. The work is a manifest in favor of humanity and collective future. Have you stop to think what it does mean to bring one into life today? What is the power of that? The film is a tribute to the ones that never desist of the yang generations and will fight for harmony with nature.
I participated in the film by post-processing the audio and creating the final mix.
