CATHARSIS
When one closes themself off, deep feelings often become buried. This is the explosion of those feelings.
An experimental film made using a variety of found footage and footage I shot myself. The audio is a combination of music, sound effects, and spoken word. Ideally viewed in a dark room on two CRTs playing a few seconds apart on a loop.
