A very positive experience overall. I was delighted with some very insightful feedback on “The Birthday List” and love that this festival supports female writers. Highly recommend! Thank you.
I would highly recommend female filmmakers to submit to this festival. Lots of hugely valuable publicity opportunities built into the festival experience. The staff at FEEDBACK Female Film Festival clearly care about what they do and the communication has been really clear and thoughtful. Very admirable that there is a number of these festivals taking place throughout the year.
I really appreciate the ability to hear from the audience members as this is the main thing I miss since many festivals have gone on-line. Here, I am able to get that connection from the comfort of my own home! I also appreciate the opportunity for a podcast interview and other publicity opportunities and am so grateful for the award! Overall it has been a wonderful experience.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it was really wonderful getting the feedback. Nice to hear unfiltered responses to the work. The organizers are super on it, very communicative. It’s a cool experience.
Our team appreciate that such heart-warming festival does exist. The important thing is to get direct feedback from audiences, and the FFFF built this bridge, we heard a lot of encouraging words from our audiences and we are so grateful about that. Thank you FFFF 🙂
Honestly, I can’t say exactly why. By 2021, it had been four years since I had last directed a fiction film. In the meantime, I had worked as a screenwriter, script doctor, producer, cinematographer, and even as a content creator for Fashion Week. Yet, despite these experiences, all my personal projects had ended in failure.
2020 and 2021 had been particularly difficult years, both professionally and personally. Everything I tried to build seemed to collapse before it could even take shape. I had reached a point where waiting no longer made sense. If I wanted to make a film, I had to do it now, with whatever means I had.
It all started in November 2021, almost by accident. After a night of working in a nightclub, I was driving home when I got stuck in traffic. On a whim, I took out my iPhone and filmed a few shots inside my car, by pure instinct. Once home, I edited the footage to a piece of music by Wojciech Kilar and color-graded it in the style of a film noir. It wasn’t a calculated decision, but a spontaneous urge—as if I were finally allowing myself to do something I had always been told to avoid by client or the global industry.
And then, without fully realizing it at the time, something happened. These images were already telling a story I had yet to write.
Bit by bit, the film took shape in my mind: the story of a couple who love each other deeply but, despite everything, should not be together. As they struggle, they wear themselves out, burn out, and inevitably age—metaphorically.
Driven by this intuition, I kept filming, alone: a hand hovering over a lit stovetop, a snow globe in the shadows, a flickering lightbulb, an empty room where I smoke a cigarette. Then, I edited a teaser and sent it to Olivia Rose, a fellow acting student whose talent had always left me in awe. I asked her if she wanted to turn this into a film—a short, maybe a medium-length, perhaps even a feature. Less than five minutes later, she agreed to join me.
From that moment on, there was no turning back. Tired of waiting for a project to finally materialize, I decided to do everything myself: film alone with my iPhone, with no budget, no crew, and most importantly, no creative restrictions.
Filming began in January 2022 and spanned eight months—forty days of shooting filled with doubt, setbacks, and improvisation.
But above all, without intending it, this film became a catharsis. A raw, unfiltered reflection of my state of mind at that time. It wasn’t planned, yet perhaps that’s what makes it beautiful. Because it was born out of a deep, personal, and artistic necessity—out of urgency.

The aging process. It’s something we are all faced with eventually. Men seem to age a bit more easily than women, they have less bodily changes and don’t have to struggle through Menopause. For a woman, getting older can be seriously daunting.
Seconds In Eternity is the brainchild of Marina Welsch. Marina starred in and co-wrote this film with Director Christian Schu. Not only is Marina talented ( she has a lovely singing voice and co-wrote the main song in the film ) but she is absolutely stunning – at any age. Seconds in Eternity is a poetic film about coming to accept and love your life at whatever age you are. Incredibly creative, the visuals of this film are a work of art. From a gorgeous time-lapse of flowers opening to the richness and depth of the black and white cinematography. Robert Wilkos outdid himself as the Director of Photography on this film. The beautiful tone that was achieved in the black and white was equally matched during the vibrant colored flashback sequences.
The viewer knew exactly what was present day compared to the past and visually it even felt like a memory. One of my absolute favorite things was as Marina became more and more comfortable in her own skin, the stark black and white gradually changed to a colored present day. Ingenious! It worked so beautifully with the storyline.
The addition of the different quotes were a really nice addition, however with how gorgeous this was, the quotes seemed to break the flow of the film and I’m not sure they were needed. The message is so clear and so well told. I have to commend the filmmakers on the areas that were dubbed in english, it was almost imperceptible. The score of the film by Hariz Danial was nothing short of perfection. It was so impactful having the piano and then the dissonance of (what sounded like) a violin at the beginning to elevate the emotion of discord, and then to resolve it within the fashbacks. Hariz followed the emotion of what was on screen just beautifully.
Seconds In Eternity is a timeless film with a message that is inspiring and uplifting.
