The day my sons came into this world, I began to evaluate who I am as a person and what
I want to achieve as a father and a filmmaker.
When I came across the legend of the sister silence, I saw this as an opportunity to bring
this ancient myth into a contemporary world.
According to the Singaporean legend, Mina and Lina were two little sisters who sacrificed
everything they had to stay together.
This legend was the trigger to tell my own story about a month's last chance to reunite
with this emotionally distant brother during a diving trip to the sister silence.
As a filmmaker, I have worked on music videos, shorts, and commercial work while I was in
the UK and Spain.
This particular show though will prove challenging, as a character's journey happens on a boat,
underwater, and later on an island.
To understand how hard this production will be, we coordinated a test shoot, getting expensive
gear on a boat, and dealing with the weather, it was itself a challenge.
With any ambitious project, you need a director that has a strong vision and who knows exactly
what he wants.
So when I met Miguel, he's already laid out every single plan of how he sees this film,
and that makes collaborating with me as a producer so much more exciting to work with.
I felt very interested in the variety of environments.
We have the jungle, with all the lights and the shadows and all the atmosphere.
And on the other hand, of course, we have all the shoots under the water, which were
very important for the movie.
We have all the difficulties of lack of visibility.
We have the coordination of the actors and the team.
The logistics of shooting on an island like this is not easy, but by hiring the right
people we can make this happen.
Why help this film?
I feel strongly that this film has universal appeal.
It's about the special bond that unites family and siblings that can empower and undertake
extraordinary actions.
Films like Legends have the ability to be passed down generation to generation.
And with your support, I can pass down this story to my children and the world.

can become more than a simple investor in this project, but instead you are a collaborator
helping us to make this film a reality.
