About this Video
I Grind My Teeth at Night is a personal hybrid doc that depicts the act of immigration not as a severance from home, but as a splitting of self. Filmmaker Pacqui Pascual stitches together camcorder footage of the Philippines with memoir that blends reality and fiction in order to imagine a life that he never got to live.
