BETWIXT

A unique combination of live action, animation and projected augmented reality.
An Irish wake in the 1880's, the living pay homage to the dead, and the veil between the worlds grows thin. A young man, heavy with grief but his mind alight with the voices of old, steps beyond the threshold and into the embrace of the moonlit woods. Here the dead commune in the language of memory and dreams, and the boundaries of time and existence blur.

This narrative delves into the philosophical concepts of existential continuity and the interconnectedness of life and death.
