Point and Line to Plane

"Point and Line to Plane" is an 18-minute short film which depicts the psychosis that can arise when an individual attempts to extract meaning from an intense loss. Stemming from Joan Didion and Sigmund Freuds theories of "magical thinking", the film investigates the phenomenon of mental free association and irrationality endured when grieving a loved one. In 2018, I was suspended in a deep state of shock after the passing of a long-time friend and collaborator named Giacomo Grisanzio. "Point and Line to Plane" is a communion of my own journey to process, heal and document my own period of mourning and my experience of magical thinking.
