An abstract and experimental short film that blends modern mixed-media techniques to capture the anxiety sparked by today’s relentless hyperconnectivity. It reveals how genuine human connection can act as a powerful remedy, drawing us back to a deeper and more authentic experience of life while guiding us to embrace innovations that may feel unsettling at first.
“ Endless news whispers, dulls the spark of dreaming minds, glimmer dimmed cold ”
A visual haiku sets the tone. It is cold, mechanical, almost menacing. We drift through the numb haze of doom scrolling, caught in the hypnotic churn of headlines and machine-made noise. Brutalist forms and pulsing, repetitive sounds rise together in a crescendo that fractures into the second act.

Raw, unspoken interaction. A mixture of vulnerability, intimacy, and a sense of invasion. It's a fleeting moment when two gazes meet, revealing both connection and discomfort.
The tone softens, space opens. Our two protagonists begin to share their stories, their gaze, their trinkets and their time. Light and sound breathe differently now. Connection replaces isolation; abstraction gives way to a bit more emotion and creativity.
"The desire to care less about things. The desire to feel a childlike sense of indifference and to experience life’s joys without being weighed down by worries."
A single fluid shot, broken and reshaped through the use of AI tools and experimentation. The chaos softens into color and sound. Nature reemerges, alive and childlike. We end not in anxiety, but in rediscovery and in wonder.
Our process began with detailed storyboards outlining each scene’s composition and rhythm. From there, we blocked and tested all camera movements through a streamlined previsualization workflow. This approach ensured maximum efficiency when operating with our robotic arm, allowing us to fine-tune motion paths and timing with precision before arriving on set.
