Director Statement

In our film, we delve deep into the profound emotional journey of a young woman scarred by repeated childhood trauma and battling the relentless weight of mental health disorders. Her life is a mosaic of failed relationships and a haunting sense of abandonment. As nightfall descends, it becomes the crucible of her suffering, a canvas painted with vivid flashbacks that plunge her into an abyss of frustration and despair.

Our unique cinematic approach employs RGB light as a potent tool to externalize her inner turmoil. Each color channel represents a facet of her complex emotions, allowing us to visualize the kaleidoscope of feelings she experiences. Red pulses with anger, blue with sorrow, and green with hope. These vibrant hues intertwine, creating a visual symphony that mirrors her internal struggles.

Through this film, we aim to shed light on the profound challenges of mental health while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.
