Director
Statement: “Milestone” is a story that is based on a personal trauma that
occurred to me at the age of 7. To this day I remember the feeling of
helplessness as I walked around the forest and trying to digest what I did to
my sister. This moment changed me forever. This is the reason It was important
to me that people will be exposed to the story and understand the tremendous
impact that violence has on shaping the self-image of a child. I tend to be
very didactic and precise, which is my greatest advantage and disadvantage as a
director. So the story is told as I imagined it from the beginning. There are
two main things that I sought in the artistic vision. One is that the story
will be told from the point of view of Aviv, the hero, so that the viewer can
feel that he is accompanying the hero with the journey. Second, that the film
will express maximum authenticity and so we chose to shoot in my elementary
school and in Ben Shemen Forest where the incident occurred. My main conclusion
from the experience is that I must continue to create art and to put in it my
personal place”.
