My art comes from a deeply personal place; A time I want to rediscover. A relationship I wish to reconcile. A question I dare to ask. This short film embodies all of this, but at its core it is an abstract reflection of living with depression. The isolation. The numbness. The longing to return to the same plane as your loved ones. The box you contort yourself into that holds all your pain, yet feels safer to stay in rather than stepping into the unknown towards healing. I share the screen with my real mother in this film. She had never acted before but radiates with wisdom and grace. Our scene is an echo of conversations we’ve had when our faith, love, and timeless bond to our culture and ancestors has been our path out of the darkness. Yet this film holds space for you to find your own meaning, and I implore you to do so. I’m so happy to finally share it. This is… 714

Hi @mang0ld - I’ve always been such a massive fan of your work, and I felt more inspired and motivated recently when I heard you talk about the need for more earnestness and sincerity in film, and that we shouldn’t be embarrassed to feel shit and show it. With that being said - if you have 12mins to spare today, I’d love to share my short with you, that really felt like a step onto that ledge, and asking my audience to feel something deeply. The short is called 714 and is a drama/sci-fi that stars my real-life mom. You can view it in the post below. Thanks for taking the time. I hope you enjoy it. 🙏🏽❤️

Hi @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN. If you have 12mins to spare today, I’d love to share my short 714 with you. It’s a drama/sci-fi that is an abstract reflection of living with depression. Inspired in parts by Death Stranding, this films explores similar themes; a world transformed, isolation, and the longing for connection. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
