Experiencing Interruptions?

Instinct

A woman strolls through nature, embraces trees, and enjoys stunning views. She dances around a large tree, then suddenly falls into darkness, wakes up in a completely different setting, and wonders if she was dreaming or if this is her dream.

Director Statement

My intention during the making of the short film was to create an atmosphere that would allow audiences to passively join in and experience whatever the character is doing. The purpose was to mesmerize the audience and, if possible, to hypnotize them. After watching my short film, I am certain that the audience will question its purpose and will evaluate it based on its bipolar theme.
