Movie: Afterthought

  • HomePage

  • Overview

    On the surface, this is an attempt to navigate the experience of Dissociative Identity Disorder (aka DID), yet it hint towards the universal truth that at least to some extent, everyone is made up of fragmented selves. The film is an ode to the self, with shifts in everything from angles to color, in order to evoke the journey from avoidance to confrontation, and ultimately, healing.
