The Dance with Fear

I’m proud to present my graduation project. A short film about fear and wonder.

I’m being hunted by my fear. It’s all around me and I run. I run away as fast as I can. I wonder, what if I stopped running?

A dark shadow glides across my face. I flee as the monster reaches for my heels. I run and run. I can push him away! I can run away, but Fear will always follow me. He will never let go. I start to wonder if he really is as evil as I think? What if I saw Fear in a different light? What if I didn’t push him away?

This is the story of a magical encounter with Fear, your inner monster. In this project I want to capture the beauty of wonder. I marvel at art, music, nature and magic. I want to share my wonder with you, because I truly believe that wonder will save the world.

In this project I collaborated with Jim Dermois. Jim make a beautiful score, that fits perfectly to the films theme and ties everything together.

By incorporating real plants I create more depth and texture.
