Through the Haze

2020 · 14 min

A hushed, disorienting drift through fading woodland light, where sound and shadow slowly close in around you.

Overview
As the afternoon light fades, two kids play in the woods by a lake. When one of them disappears, the lake and its inhabitants take hold of the narrative and, when the darkness sets in, build up the walls of a maze that encircles the two kids. While one wanders through the forest searching for his friend, the silhouettes, textures and sounds of the forest slowly exert their mysterious grip.
