We keep descriptions short on purpose. The pictures should do the talking.

The best short films feel longer than they are. This one sits in your head for the rest of the day.

We picked this one because it rewards a second watch. The first time through you follow the motion; the second time you start to notice the light.

Everything here was shot on modest gear. Good light and patience still beat an expensive camera most days.

If you are on a phone, turn the brightness up. The shadows carry a lot of the detail.
