What comes after grief? In this experimental performative documentary, I explore the emotions one may feel after mourning the loss of a friend(s). I also examine the nature of friendship through the lenses of childhood, growing up, and time.
concept
Similar to Part One, this second part is organized into two emotions that I believe one may feel after grief, and that were present in my poetry:
Act I: Longing
Act II: Gratitude
Although this film is considered a Part Two, I also wanted it to be distinct and unique enough to stand on its own. As a result, I intentionally avoided using footage that resembled the imagery of Part One. I decided to incorporate mainly archival photos from my childhood, and archival footage of shoes (as shoes are a major motif in my second poem).
script (poems)
The script consisted of two poems that I wrote. The first was written close to when Part One's poems were written, and the second was written recently, with this film in mind.
