"A raw self-reflection, this short experimental film explores personal struggle, loneliness, and perfectionism."

"A raw self-reflection, this short experimental film explores personal struggle, loneliness, and perfectionism."

Context

This project was developed as part of the course In the Mood for Light at Hochschule Anhalt. The course focused on understanding light as a visual and emotional tool in filmmaking, encouraging the creation of short, mood-driven moving image pieces.


Challenge

How can minimal visual elements communicate emotional states like loneliness without relying on complex narrative?


Process

From observing light in my everyday life to developing a narrative, I created a loose, sketchy storyboard as my structure. I kept the filming open to improvisation, allowing light and space to shape the final atmosphere. I worked with my friend as the actress and filmed in my own home and neighborhood in two days.
