《幸运是活着的》讲述了一个非洲冲浪者的故事，他相信万物有灵论——相信无生命的物体和概念都可以有灵魂。正是他对运气的万物有灵论信仰把他带到了海洋，让他获得了自由。这部短片为南非冲浪品牌MAMI WATA的广告，这部电影讲述的是塞内加尔达喀尔的冲浪者Damme Samb(21岁)的故事。塞内加尔是非洲西海岸一个穆斯林占主导地位的国家。
感谢所有为这个项目尽心尽力的人。
Luck is Alive tells the story of an African surfer and believer in Animism - the belief that inanimate objects and concepts can have a soul. It is his animistic belief in luck that leads him to the ocean and sets him free.
The film features Damme Samb (21) a surfer from Dakar, Senegal a predominantly muslim country on the west coast of Africa.
Thank you to everyone who put their heart and soul into this project.
