The Depths of the Barely Visible

The Depths of the Barely Visible

An ancient letter, written at a time when beauty and hope were difficult to see in the world.

---

An original short film I wrote in response to the feeling of dread that has consumed me at times while watching the news, scrolling through Twitter feeds, or discussing another mass shooting, natural disaster, or disgusting revelation about elected so-called-leaders in our country.

It hints at an ancient mythology that supersedes the finite time in which we currently find ourselves, and is, in some small way, meant to be an antidote to that feeling of hopelessness that can creep up. We made it to offer a brief respite from the noise and violence of our relentless news cycles.
