DIRECTOR'S WORD 

In cinema, people struggling with addiction are often portrayed as cautionary tales. But what happens when the person struggling with addiction is also the most magnetic person in the room?

​

Inspired by a true story, Tissé serré (Tightly Woven) is a love letter from a son to his father: charismatic, funny, and impossible to abandon. The film offers an honest look at the rift that addiction creates in all those who love it. The family fragments. Relationships twist and break. And yet, love remains. It's this contradiction that we rarely see on screen.

This is the film that my team and I chose to create with immense pride.
