TEENAGE DREAMS

Short Film, Coming of Age, Experimental (2020)

Welcome to a cinematic place of peace and calm. This short film is an 8 minute meditation on the times when summer lasted an eternity and tomorrow seemed only like a distant dream. Semi-documentarian footage is combined with animations based on real data recorded of the filmmakers‘ brain activity while being asleep. Almost without any spoken words and through careful creation of sound design and visual composition, this experimental short film serves as a counter piece to all the digital noise on the internet.
