TIME IS RUNNING OUT / CANADA / LOUISIANA PREMIERE

Time is running out is a personal film inspired by an exchange of letters with a close family member. It is a meditation on the obsession that this letter provoked. The montage is meant to evoke the repetitiveness of invasive thoughts and the agonizing feeling of being stuck in them. Like the pain in the knees after sitting on them for too long, repeated verbal violence becomes unbearable.
