Brogan Vandenio
Brogan Vandenio (b. 1999) is a Scottish film director his work revolves around the exploration of human consciousness and its submerged realms. Through the medium of film, the auteur seeks to unravel the intricate layers of identity, spirituality, and emotional resilience. By intertwining narrative elements with symbolic motifs, his goal is to create immersive experiences that challenge the viewer’s perceptions and encourage introspection. The characters portrayed often grapple with profound existential crises, mirroring universal struggles that echo through time, such as the themes of family. The director’s debut ZANNI is enriched by a fascination with alchemical and psychological archetypes, which serve as a bridge to understanding the arcane and the modern. Each project is a testament to the complexities of the human spirit, inviting audiences to witness and reflect on the delicate dance between light and darkness within themselves.
