The Act of Film

"The Act of Film" is a film that explores the art of filmmaking, using a central sculpture as a representation of story structure. We follow the journey of a solitary artist in search of a muse, witnessing the sculpture's metamorphosis that mirrors the gradual unfolding of a narrative, all captured within the intimate setting of a single table.
