BEYOND PASSION -  A DOCUMENTARY FILM by Joel Mortier & Bo Vic

Objective

As we intimately witness the blazing energies and fearless endeavours of inspiring individuals amidst their most creative times, we will come to awaken an artistic problem-solving genius within each of us.

Concept

The documentary material will help us understand the special state of mind of an individual amidst their creative process. Our objective is to grasp what hides behind the "spark in their eyes". The focus will be drawn more onto the creator and their milieu, rather than the project they are working on.

As we move around Europe since a few years now, we keep on crossing paths with intriguing characters. As soon as we personally encounter these non-ordinary characters, we offer them free assistance and skills, aiming to get as close as possible, hoping to set us on an adventure into their surprising and diverse worlds, defined by feelings, unique taste and their own view on surroundings.

“spark in their eyes”

The unifying element for every creative being in moments of their creative expression, is the "spark in their eyes", a recurring phenomenon announcing the fire burning within, the urge to share their refined feelings, thoughts and ideas back with the Universe. Driven by passion they see no fear and in that creative state, no obstacle is too big, no problem seems unsolvable.

While staying afloat in life seems hard at times, those creative individuals are there to remind that they too, not only live in the same world, often in unenviable conditions, but also create something greater than them at the same time. As a byproduct of their actions, we feel moved, inspired and connected.
