Narrative Short / 2023
SPECTATOR
Separated by an impossible situation, grieving friends struggle to reconnect before memory fades and all is lost.
Once I discovered the parallel between dreams and visual storytelling in film, I realized this was a medium I could pour myself into. I like to make the audience think. I don’t think they need everything spelled out for them. A healthy level of confusion makes the film stay with them longer. Films you totally understand from the get-go are forgettable, in my experience.
