This Short Film Follows a Man's Poetic Search for Elevation

​Selim Lallaoui has partnered with Wizz for the production of his first short film: Above the Sea. 

In his first short film, the young director Selim Lallaoui invites us to follow the poetic drifting of a man in search of elevation. As if absorbed by his own daydream, his character eventually becomes the very object of his contemplation.

The team at Wizz commented on the project, saying, "Conceived as a modern tale, the film takes the form of a graphic essay.

"From our first discussions, we were struck by Selim's universe: sensitive, precise, and already very self-assured. By turning to Wizz, he was seeking support to challenge his ideas and push them further. We quickly recognised that he had the necessary maturity and finesse to fully embrace the role of a director.

"In this film, Selim is responsible for everything: directing, art direction, graphic design, and character design. A complete, natural talent that deserves attention. With Above the Sea, he immediately establishes himself as a singular and inspiring voice. And we are proud to have supported him in this first step."
