Up The River

Short film for Amazon, directed by Leon de Levita.

Roy takes his grandfather Benjamin up the Surinam river to visit his lost brother Hugo. Roy realizes how advanced Benjamin’s dementia has become when they’re in the boat, and that this isn’t just a simple upstream boat ride. Starring Borger Breeveld!

I know Leon as one of my trainees, and I was very impressed that he, as an aspiring director, chose to work as a trainee in all kinds of departments before starting his career.
