(Experimental, Local) USA, 12:24 MIN
directed by MYLES FLUSSER
cast LAUREN THOMAS, SOPHIE CONSTABLE
Two personal life experiences motivated me to make this film. The first was the unexpected death of my brother.

This film was my attempt to place his stories into an imaginary landscape of fading memory.
