    paper 7 7 (experimental feature film)

    77 trailer

    7 7 is an avant-garde/experimental narrative feature film.
    The piece is a dream-like meditation on love, identity, gender roles, and the nature of human consciousness. The non-linear and multiple narrative trajectories explore the deeper senses of the self and our relationships to photographic and cinematic images - both as subjects and voyeurs.

    Two strangers experience a sudden death/rebirth that thrusts them into the most important relationship of their existence. Through their shattered new realities and each other, they search the dimensions of their psychological and emotional dilemmas for inner peace.
