BRAINBLOODVOLUME (2016)

Inspired by the bizarre actual life events of Dutch librarian and medical student, Hugo Bart Huges, BRAINBLOODVOLUME is a stylistic interpretation of the essential moments at which Huges went forward with an operation he theorized would lead to a permanent high and state of higher consciousness. Shot without dialogue in high-contrast black and white, the film approximates the style of photographs taken of Bart Huges during and after his operation, while utilizing a surreal tone and imagery throughout the story.
