Director's Statement
An Artist's Curse tells the story of a melancholic Mother Sonya, who sees the world from the P.O.V of her mentally impaired mind as she tries to unravel the shocking truth about her daughter. It is a story about grief, personal demons and how we see the world from a different colour when experiencing mental trauma or suffering deeply.
