💭 DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
"In a time of division and fractured societies, shared profound experiences can help us find our common humanity. THE OTHER SIDE explores this in a world overrun by dark forces, where two surviving factions are intent on each other's destruction. It's a story that reflects our own society, sending a message of hope to a world becoming increasingly broken." - John DeVries
