No End

Synopsis: 

No End was inspired by a poem written by the filmmaker. During this process, abstract images surfaced, subsided, and settled, eventually forming the foundation of a film. What developed from this is a lyrical journey that explores the intersection of interconnectivity and lived experience.

In No End, a woman walking in the woods finds a book. What we see are her reflections on a poem, whose text appears on screen, a line at a time. An original music score by Graham Stewart of Viosac accompanies and complements the work.
