In the feature documentary David against Goliath (2022), I explore the concept of failure through three unfinished films from the beginning of my career. It is common for creators to have incomplete or even abandoned projects. I decided to delve into my past and meet with my collaborators from these projects to understand why these films never saw the light of day. In continuity with my two previous films, I use the act of filmmaking as a tool of introspection to dig into an understanding of myself. My conversations become a way to share this quest and generate a dialogue about our respective experiences.

In David against Goliath, I draw on techniques from documentary and video art. The film also represents an opportunity to question and expand upon these techniques within the creative process. The film utilizes personal video diaries, the archives of unfinished films, discussions with collaborators from the three projects, visual and sound explorations with musicians, and the staging of the biblical story of David and Goliath. Each part is realized with a unique texture and rhythm, creating a hybrid aesthetic. Through these encounters, I explore the universal subjects of; failure, success, abandonment, friendship, envy, pride, anxiety and depression.
