Duration: 12:00min

Film Synopsis:
What would happen if we gradually started to lose what we call consciousness? Being aware and able to perceive the reality around us? Hazel and her neighbour Raleigh find themselves being haunted by mysterious creatures who apparently only want to feed off their being.

Artist's Statement:
Topics of death, consciousness and perception have been the center point of attention in my filmography in recent years. I aim to depict how reality would be if we understood these things in a different light. What if life goes on after death? What if one begins to lose consciousness just becoming an empty figure? This is the fulcrum of my filmmaking practice. With special attention to photography in my films, I aim to create a beautiful world where melancholy and confusion are ever present.
