As a Ukrainian native, I found myself invested in the stories of rebirth and the cycle of death. Having discovered the poem "Shovel" by Jericho Brown, I couldn't resist its visuality and decided to translate it into a short film. I was inspired by the themes of physical exhaustion and decided to experiment to see if I could convey it through actor blocking, camera movement, and the pacing of the shots.

Synopsis: Created in response to Jericho Brown's "Shovel", the film follows a man charged with burying a man he did not kill.
