Director Biography - Carlo Fortin


"Almost" was conceived originally for a Vancouver local film festival with prompts of being ultra low budget with a theme of NOSTALGIA. While there are aspects of this film based on true experiences, the chemistry and the improv between our leads, Moheb and Abbey, a real life couple, really makes this one of my favorite projects.
