Crossing the first threshold

A short film by Mark Kassinos.

Inspired by Joseph Campbell’s book: ‘The Hero with a thousand faces’ chapter 1, this is a visual expression of a man’s personal journey, the quest into the adventure. In the pursuit of higher wisdom, the encounter with the universal principle, he confronts chaos, noise and doubt, rejection as well as order, structure and calm that both exist interconnectedly to test the commitment of the individual.

• Character: Alexandros Charalambous
• Directed and filmed & edited: Mark Kassinos
• Sound design: Andreas Hadjipandelis
