More About "INKED":
In the heart of our film, INKED, lies a story that is as personal as it is
universal; it is a tale of grief, legacy, and the indelible marks both leave
upon us. INKED explores the profound sorrow of losing a loved one and
the lengths to which we go to keep their memory alive. Drawing from my
own journey of loss following my father’s death, I sought to weave a
narrative that not only honors his memory but also delves into the
complexities of grief and the desire for connection beyond the veil.
My choice to integrate the world of tattooing into this narrative came
from the art form’s rich history and its power to embody personal stories
on the canvas of our skin. Tattoos are both intimate and permanent, a physical manifestation of memory and identity and, sometimes, a bridge to the spiritual. Yet, as our story unfolds, this act of tattooing also becomes a conduit for something far beyond our lead’s intention, blurring the lines between the worlds of the living and the dead.
INKED is not just an exploration of loss and connection; it is designed to
be a visually captivating and energetically charged experience. The film
aims to envelop the audience in a world of non-stop movement and kinetic energy, utilizing a vibrant and colorful palette that contrasts with the darkness of its themes.
