Experiencing Interruptions?

Cold Chalk

Cold Chalk is an abstract art film based on poems, which was a result of the collaboration work between a filmmaker and a poet in the Three Poems Three Films event at Santa Fe University of Art and Design.
Ryan is too emotionally detached from the world to appreciate what he has or is losing. He then continues with his life feeling removed and attempting to confront his repressed emotions by projecting them onto an imaginary companion he has characterized as his skeleton.
