Experiencing Interruptions?

AFFETTI

Willow is finishing a weekend with blood on her face & a throat burned from cigarettes. She is fresh from unrequited love & running from the comforts & emotions of her past. For the fist time in Willow’s life she feels legitimate heartbreak, & searches deep inside of her memories to make sense of it all.

Using surreal elements visually and aurally, traditional filmmaking and experimental filmmaking merge to create a multi-sensory experience; the same way our memories are triggered through our different senses. This jarringly sensual film about memories, romance, and a young woman’s processing to overcome one-sidedness & blur the line between remembrance & the narrative of her own life.

Director Statement

My films consider the human condition and our relationship to one another; especially ourselves. I like to focus on inserts, moments, and angles that we cannot achieve from our everyday human condition. I hope you find my films contemplative, engaging, tearjerking, unnerving, side stitching with laughter, and painting a smile on your face as you watch. Please enjoy these worlds that I hope to create for you and cinema lovers everywhere. - Bobby Sutton
