The Waif film A E I O U is an homage to the inner child. Five fully fledged human beings play for the sake of playing in an effort to forget their troubles for a moment. The film captures lightness, softness and stillness in a world that is busier than ever. Directed by Francesco Nassimbeni, the film was produced in January 2021. My role in this project included creative direction, production, concept and collaborative partner to first time director Nassimbeni.
