“My idea was to shoot a short film where Greek mythology merged with wildly different elements, such as banlieue streetwear or technology, encompassing everything in a dystopian future,” explains Ernest. “Browsing Instagram, I came across Pressure, which was playing with very similar elements. I got in touch with them and proposed a collaboration. Théodoros loved the idea, so Pressure provided us with all the clothing and styling.”

But Théo’s brand was more than a visual inspiration. Pressure stands up for those with a voice often lesser heard, and for creating unity among the countries of the mare nostrum, from Greece to Morocco, to Italy, Tunis, Lebanon, Albania or Bosnia Herzegovina. That’s why both Théo and Ernest recruited together the actors and models starring in the film, which also has a universal message. “In the film, five kids try to reset civilization in a world succumbed to chaos. It’s a story where the only thing that matters is the goal; it doesn’t matter where you come from, your nationality, there are no borders. They’re all in the same situation,” the filmmaker explains. “When the situation gets serious, the only thing that works is to collaborate as a team to survive. It’s a pity that this only happens under extreme circumstances,” he continues. “The world would be a better place if this global collaboration existed.”
