What is WUIP?

Waking Up in Paris is a haunting, visually rich journey through the creative process, where beauty, pain, and self-realization blend in a story as mesmerizing as Paris itself.

​

In Waking Up in Paris, we journey with Ari, a young artist living in the City of Lights, who is struggling to reignite his creative spark. Frustrated, he lets his brush sweep across a blank canvas, and from his strokes emerge three characters: Amelie, an optimistic waitress; Rina, a ballerina poised for her debut at the Palais Garnier; and a dark, shadowy figure lurking on the canvas's edge.​​​ Each character’s story tangles with Ari’s emotions, and he soon realizes that the shadow haunting his canvas isn’t merely a figment of his imagination—it’s a part of himself.​​
