About Lotus Underwater Film
Just like the seed, we too carry all the information that we need to grow inside of us. This court métrage tells the story of a seed transforming into the lotus flower and goes beyond what mere words can explain. It´s an experience - an invitation to dive deep within, reconnect with who we truly are, follow our heart, face our fears & live our full potential.

Underwater dance in extreme circumstances
We dived into the Cenotes—sacred Mayan waters and underwater rivers & caves, deep in the jungles of Mexico—to capture the breathtaking underwater dance (freediving up to -15m/50ft deep). We also filmed on land—in the Californian desert (at 8°C/48°F).
What is the purpose of our short film?
We aspired to create a film that matters and makes a meaningful difference in the world. A film that goes beyond mere words and touches us all in extremely profound and intense ways. Celebrate LOTUS with us at the Online World Premiere on August 28th 2020 - Online & free for everyone. (Sign up, save your seat & get all infos via Email) We are also screening at International Film Festivals.
