BELOVED STRANGER
"Which is the path to choose when one is blinded by ambition?" The obsession of an underground boxer challenges his relationship and marks his own destiny. A short film directed by The Gasser Brothers in which both sound concept and score has been produced in house. The movie's challenge was to achieve a harshness and sound reality reinforcing the story, with the difficulty of any live sound raw from the shooting.
