I’ve been working on a short documentary about Loy Krathong, a Thai festival where you send your bad luck, guilt, negativity and pretty much everything rotten about your life down the river or out to sea in a floating lotus blossom filled with candles.

In all its modesty, this vision of a small community gathering together against the darkness is a story for our times.
