Oceania (2008) movie poster At the age of seventeen, I made an independent feature-length film called Oceania. With the help of friends and family, we filmed in the San Francisco Bay Area on a budget less than $4,000. I learned about cinematography and editing on-the-spot over many long nights and weekends. We used a volunteer cast and crew and lots of donated equipment and help. The film finally hit the big screen at the 2008 Cinequest Film Festival, closing with a sold-out audience. Oceania has since been released for free under a Creative Commons license. Special thanks to those who are keeping the film alive by sharing via P2P, seeding torrents, and translating subtitles. Please download, share, and distribute it as you wish (over 30,000 viewers already have)!

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, Cinequest Film Festival).
