Directing
Big Time, the visual counterpart to Angel Olsen's album of the same name, is the story of light versus shadow told through a non-linear surrealist dreamspace that poses one central dilemma. ‘What lengths must one go through to let go of the past in order to step out of the darkness and accept one’s true self?’ It’s a story that targets deep rooted complexities such as how our unconscious deals with repressed sexual identity, the hardships of letting go of our past selves in order to step into self actualization, and the guilt we hold when dealing with loss.
A dark, intimate meditation on cannibalism as devotion, where consuming another becomes the ultimate act of love, grief, and possession. Through unsettling ritual and raw tenderness, it turns hunger into something sacred, blimming the line between destruction and desire.
The Giver Gives to Give is a black and white silent film starring a clown in search of a stage, an audience, a friend.
