Experiencing Interruptions?

Believe You Me.

A look at modern life, through the very human cultivation of wilderness and energy. Trapped inside of homes, we avert our eyes to the natural world. Overlooking the landscape we truly occupy, home.

Director Biography - Finn O'Connell, Finn O'Connell

I am a practicing filmmaker at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. Born and raised in Sheboygan Wisconsin, I was fortunate enough to know what I wanted to do with my life from an early age. I was to make movies! Since then I have been granted the opportunity to accumulate years of experience creating experimental and weird short films, video installations, dance exhibitions, music videos, advertisements, etc. Crafting the moving image is my passion and I won't stop till I drop!

Director Statement

We've all been told to go home and stay home. We have grown both increasingly aware and desensitized to the energy we compose within and out of our homes. Our immediate environment is a haven and a coffin. Precious social interaction fades away, but our harnessed and sheltered energy begs for our attention. Can I hear it?

My cold Wisconsin environment felt as uninviting as my home. Nowhere was comforting, the wind scathing and frigid. I fled the solitude of the Midwest to the Wild West. Where life breathes and speaks. Its inhabitants live largely. Uninhibited, I can breathe in Its warm vastness. The sun grants me life.
