Director's Works
Still Alive in Paris Andrea Nazarian
Armenian-Canadian director Andrea Nazarian's work seeks to uncover the moments of connection, poetry and sensuality often overlooked in everyday life. Influenced by the power of music and movement, Andrea's work aims to blend compelling narratives with evocative visuals.
A chance encounter in the streets of Paris brought Ghanian-German fashion designer Elliot DeGraft and Armenian-Canadian filmmaker Andrea Nazarian together. Both hungry to break in to the city's notoriously exclusive creative scene, Elliot and Andrea set out to create a piece of work that connected with their shared experience as children of immigrants and outsiders to Paris' artistic circles. Andrea collaborated closely with director of photography Sam Acton King to create a visual approach that would give the film a more photographic look and feel than typical documentary.
