Director Statement

A short experimental film examining impermanence within the natural Florida landscape. Images foregrounding human interaction within the Florida wilderness are juxtaposed with abstract sections of rapid movement. The sequencing of these shots together foregrounds fleeting traces of perspective within the natural landscape. Ambient audio is distorted and abstracted that pair with the sections of rapid movement to create a contrast through sound design. 16mm, Super 8.
