In 2014, I was conscripted into the army. Soon after, my then-girlfriend departed for London.

While sense would dictate that we part ways given the circumstances, we decided to continue our relationship.

Despite being apart, we found ourselves growing closer together as we navigated our new but separate phases of life through our only means of staying constantly connected - our mobile phones.

Our devices became essential to the relationship; a vessel carrying our voices and our presence.

Vessel was my first film after being released from the military. It reflects my anxieties, but also quietly celebrates the relationship I had.

The film features Michał Huszcza from the Sundance 2016 winner, 'All These Sleepless Nights'.
