DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Thurop Van Orman → USA

Surreal animated storytelling blending grotesque humor with nostalgic adventure and childlike wonder.

Werner Herzog → Germany

He consistently examines humanity's struggle against nature and the obsessive pursuit of impossible goals in extreme maritime and isolated settings, exploring the limits of human endurance.
