This is an incredibly personal story about my own first miscarriage. A deliberately simple film with only one character, I wanted to focus on two things: working closely with an actor and creating a visual aesthetic that informs the tone. It was a surreal experience and I’m grateful to the amazing crew who supported the kaupapa throughout.
