The Love of Grief

Grief is often shocking and world changing. As one sister struggles with the loss of the other her world stops making sense. This is a film that conveys the feelings and emotions that grief can bring on; but also a reminder that the strength of the grief only reflects the strength of the love.

Director Statement

Directing and screenwriting are my favorite parts of film; being able to bring my vision to life in this film was a dream come true. Unlike, the dreamlike nightmare my character is stuck in. This film is a reflection on grief and how forgetting simple things, such as how someone you love sounded, creates an impact on one's subconscious. The set design and lighting design were important to me to create this dreamlike world. My goal in creating this film was to stir up emotions, whether they be difficult or comforting, it is good to feel as much as possible and confront those emotions. Especially ones we don't understand as well as others.
