Sabbatical
Synopsis
A diary film comprised of images from 2024 and voicemails from 2011-2016. It is a film about regrets and isolation from those who used to be near and dear to me. The footage I can stare at, it's not from all that long ago. Those voices I can listen to now. But the faces who spoke those words I won't meet again.
