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.Author owns copyright, except where explicitly noted.
