The Aesthetics of DISTANCE

The directors maintain an Instagram, Tumblr site and Spotify playlist for DISTANCE.

In style and aesthetics, the directors draw inspiration from films such as Fernando Meirelles' THE CONSTANT GARDENER, Alfonso Cuarón's CHILDREN OF MEN and Gareth Edwards' MONSTERS. Their surf aesthetic can be seen in the cinematography of Morgan Maassen and photography of Woody Gooch.
