A story about two teenagers who deal with their shattered family-life in a small California coastal town.
Oceania is an indy feature-length film that I created from scratch with the help of many friends. We filmed in the SF Bay Area on a budget of <$4,000. I spent my life savings on it. Learned about cinematography (using the Canon XL-2). Official Selection at the 2008 Cinequest Film Festival. This was the first time I picked up a camera and made a film... Enjoy!
A captivating drama that explodes with an intense visual style and sharp storytelling, Oceania is a rarity for such a young director. At 17-years-old, Dehal wrote and directed a film that reveals a talent and a cinematic eye far beyond even the most seasoned Hollywood directors, and based on his debut film, there is no doubt that Dehal is one of the big discoveries of the year (by Tamee Tanoor, 2008 Cinequest Film Festival).
