Once I Got In, It Was Hard to Get Out

documentary / fiction · 29 min · 2024

A hybrid film balancing between documentary and fiction, following a protagonist exploring an abandoned house that gradually becomes a psychological space rather than a physical one. Handheld camera and predominantly natural light preserve documentary authenticity while carefully shaped colour and lighting design create a surreal, otherworldly atmosphere.
