Director of photography, Carolina Costa worked closely with the writer/director, Tara Miele in Wander Darkly.

The Synopsis

In WANDER DARKLY, a traumatic accident leaves a couple, Adrienne (Sienna Miller, ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra’) and Matteo (Diego Luna, ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’), in a surreal state of being that takes them on a disorienting journey through the duality of their shared moments.  By reliving fond recollections from the beginning of their romance while also navigating the overwhelming truths of their present, they must rediscover the love that truly binds them together. Writer/director Tara Miele (The Lake Effect) offers a profound new perspective on the delicate nature of relationships with this emotionally moving story about a couple who must reflect on their past in order to face their uncertain future.
