long synopsis

A fugitive escape path across five interlinked spaces. Flight becomes a subjective physical exit journey with multiple possible psychological readings where we are propelled from overcrowded urban vistas towards isolation in wide-open space.

The artist’s pen and ink drawn interventions into the live-action journey are ambiguous gestures that suggest an evolving relationship between an unseen protagonist and his surroundings. The multi-layered soundtrack fusing location sounds and orchestration adds to the complexities of the film’s reading.
