This film is about grief and how it manifests itself in your life in so many ways: how it controls your life without realizing it, how you’ll do anything reckless or mindlessly self-indulgent to feel better, and how sometimes it feels like you’ll never be without grief, even in the dawn of day.

More specifically, it’s the precursor to another film I’m still seeking funding on, one that will more explicitly commemorate the friends I’m grieving. Because I still grieve them, even if it’s been years. I’m still sad – and angry – that I’ll never get to see them again. Time heals all wounds, but only because you forget those wounds are there. When you remember, the pain feels as fresh as if it had just happened.

This film was created in February 2021 for Nachmo’s Dance Film Festival. It premiered on March 6th, 2021.
