Museum: A Surreal Short Film
Donation protected
Imagine a family member's cherished china cabinet. How beautiful are those plates? Now, picture them taking one out of the cabinet. Hesitation arises at the thought of using the plate, fearing the irreversible consequence of accidentally damaging it. It's not just about the plate itself; it’s the memories and connections tied to it and how any damage would affect its owner.
Join me in bringing Museum to life, my surreal debut short film that delves into the profound attachment we form with physical reminders of loved ones.
Story
After a beloved family member passes away, SHE inherits their possessions, ranging from cherished heirlooms to everyday items like cutlery and dining room chairs. Her reluctance to part with or use these objects mirrors a universal struggle experienced by those coping with grief.
