Experiencing Interruptions?

For The Time Being

"For the Time Being" is a film shot in the Portland Rose Test Garden over the course of a year as three friends experience the four seasons moving backward and forward in time. An exploration of our relationship to nature and our place in the world, the trio moves through the process of sleep, awakening, discovery and decline among the stalwart trees and shedding roses of the Pacific Northwest.
