“I wanted to bring my love for dance into the visual storytelling of Convento because a major theme of the film is to capture the choreography of daily routines of a family, cross cutting between a mother in the garden, her son tending to the animals and her other son working in his studio – all in the same location. The movement of Convento is similar to a dance because with very little dialogue these daily routines become a meditation.”
