We Try Not To Think About It Now
In this deceptively whimsical film, a simple trip to Los Angeles becomes a kaleidoscopic journey through distorted realities into the underbelly of LA. Set to the haunting music of Sukie Smith, "We Try Not to Think About it Now" explores the unsettling edges of perception, where reality is fluid and elusive, reflecting the multifaceted nature of the world we think we know.
