“Exit” – the latest project of director Bogdan Benea


     Exit is the new project developed by Bogdan Benea, winner of the Abis Studio Award within The Pitch competition of NexT IFF 2016.
     Ana is a young woman struggling with depression. She just drifts through the days of her life without managing to communicate with the people around her. She decides to look for help in the virtual space and thus she finds Rareș. The two of them make a suicidal deal, but death proves to be a process one has to go through alone.
     The young director's project portrays the feelings of a depressed person, offering Ana's perspective on this story, through her subjective angles. The digital era's impact on an individual suffering from this disease is brought into focus. There are a lot of forums and groups supporting the struggle with depression, but there are even more teaching you how to commit suicide. Exit probes into the nucleus of the most spread and most studied disease world-wide. Depression disorders may gain a hold on every person's life.
     The failure to adapt and communicate was also tackled in the first independent short by Brașov-based Bogdan Benea. In 2013, he was nominated at the HBO Screenplay Conest with Ultima Stație/The Last Stop, and a year later this short brought him a Special Mention at ClujShorts International Short Film Festival.
