Rouzbeh Rashidi Instagram – Get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of my upcoming feature film, Elpis. These two photographs were taken in various locations in Latvia, revealing the working conditions on set. Despite the serene appearance, shooting Elpis was a rigorous and physically demanding experience. Filming took place deep in the natural landscapes of Latvia, Estonia, Ireland, and Germany, where we were isolated from civilization. The environment was plagued with flies, mosquitoes, and strange bugs like ticks. I even fell ill during the shoot, taking two weeks to recover and nearly ending up in the hospital. With the effects of climate change intensifying, the scorching heat and harsh sun made the experience even more formidable. Despite all the hardships, shooting this film over the past three years has been a journey that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Don’t miss the European premiere of Elpis in October.
