  • Reason for making the movie:

    Author's note on creating the film:
    This movie was made as an experiment. I was intending to film a feature called Incognito, but wanted to "warm-up" first: I wrote a short story on a person lost in a non-linearic reality that is connected to the power of the god. The person was to have the ability to exist in different places at the same time, but it wasn't sure if it is agony or a gift as omnipresential existence could only be achieved before life or afterlife. The person was to be both unborn or dead. Omnipresent was filmed and turned out to be good. The initial film, Incognito, however, for many reasons was not made at all.

  • Other information:

    The film was created by Abel Mekasha Abera, a then 19-year-old born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He studied at a small film school videography and photography. Later on worked at advertising and media companies, as a videographer. Currently he is working on music videos and preparing a sequel to Omnipresent - a feature film called SUPERNO.
