About this submission

Much like the protagonist of this story, Gabe, I made this film while struggling with my own grief after losing my grandfather last year. It was the kind of loss that uproots your entire life and I had no idea how to make sense of it. These characters and situations are fictional, but their beliefs and ideals are very much inspired by the people who raised me. I learned a lot about myself while making this film and how I dealt with emotions that felt impossible to express which, to me, is what film can do best.
