Experiencing Interruptions?

Squint

A couple's fuzzed memory from a cabin getaway is visualized through distorted scrapbooking and artifacted home video streamlining the doubt and confidence they have for their relationship. "Squint" (2022) is an ode to analyzing the ceilings of the cabin while laying in its bed, squinting in the process.
