Director's Bio
Adas Burkšaitis is a Lithuanian screenwriter and film director. He worked as a software engineer and computer scientist for most of his life, but later switched to film directing.
After becoming interested in cinema during his undergraduate studies, Adas initially saw it as a refuge from the correctness of the exact sciences and later as a dream career opportunity.
Adas has always strived for a deeper relationship between people and realised that visual art forms allow for a very immediate communication with a complete stranger, which is often lacking in a friendship that lasts for years.
