泽沃斯像对待其他电影项目一样,评估了这次旅行的风险. “有一定程度的危险,但我采取的方式是最安全的,”他说. “In places where I need security, I’m taking it. In places where I need a guide, I’m taking one.”
While Zervos is avoiding regions of conflict, 他说,他很高兴能访问那些被认为是危险的国家,看到它们不同的一面. “I’m hoping to show, in a small way, that people are the same in different places, but the differences in countries are also beautiful. 正是这些差异让我们变得美丽和不可思议。.
Stories of human happiness
探索世界和与时间赛跑的刺激激发了泽沃斯对宇宙计划的兴趣, 但他说,这个项目的核心是收集和分享人类幸福的故事. “如果没有勇气,打破世界纪录的回报就不会那么好, some greater purpose. As an artist, that’s what inspires me,” he said.
In each country he visits, Zervos将采访两个人,讲述他们生活中最快乐的时刻,并在社交媒体上实时分享这些故事.
“我想把镜头对准其他人,让他们讲述自己最幸福的时刻,” he said. “我希望这些故事能提醒人们,生命是宝贵的,美丽的,值得活下去. 幸福来了又去,但无论你是谁,无论你在哪里,幸福都是可能的.”
