Crying Backwards

Crying Backwards is a short film about loss, reinvention, and the quiet beauty of starting over—told through music, movement, and the magic of cinema. 

Fleeing a painful past, Nico travels from Spain to New Zealand to start over, but when a vibrant young actress pulls him into an ambitious student musical film competition, he’s forced to face his fears, open up to new friendships, and rediscover the spark of storytelling that might just heal him.
