Catching Fire

2019 · 26 min

A quiet, moody short that drifts like a half-remembered childhood summer, with an undercurrent of anger and wild nature.

Overview
A remote village. A gang of kids. There's Hannah, Thomas, and Jonathan. And then there's Lou, who's so angry that he burns everything he touches. Nature comes alive, to the rhythm of their beating hearts.
