Reverse Osmosis

Visual Poem - 4 min

Role: Writer/Director/Actor

Description: This passion project was a practice in combining my love for poetry and for film. Storyboarding the metaphorical journey of the main character I let the visuals inspire a spoken word poem. In the spirit of a music video this visual poem explores the depths of our shadows and how we wrestle with the daily realities that mirror the myth of Sisyphus. Strangely enough I had never heard of this myth before creating the film. I found this as a testament to how human myths transcend time and space.

A man climbs the dune of his past only to confront his shadow in the abyss within.

The myths within us.
