    Newport Beach Film Festival “Play: The Power of Ideas”

    By Priya PRUpdated:No Comments3306 Views

    Directed by REVERSE's Johan Stahl, the film shows the underbelly of divorce when a little boy retreats to his toys — his imagination triggering a jarring series of events in the outside world. Working closely with ad agency Garage Team Mazda, Stahl sought to find the right balance juxtaposing traditional dramatic cinema techniques with elements of the gore genre. By showing the disparity between the parents’ world and the boy's world, the film expresses central themes around imagination, cinematic storytelling, and the core theme of the 2019 Newport Beach Film Fest, “The Power of Film.”
