Also found here. Digital photographs, super 8mm, old video 8 footage from VHS. Collaboration with Cassandra Vervoort. This short melancholic film explores ideas and fears about the future, mortality, and immortality and the isolation this would bring. The music was chosen to reflect the mood of the narrated poem, just as the images were made to complement the words rather than to particularly...
