A short film about love and loss.
This project by Daniel Lee was never completed. All the source footage was lost due to hard drive failure. This working version is the only surviving version of this film.
Daniel Lee never intended to release the incomplete film, but encouragement by friends and fans changed his mind.
Upon getting into Oxford Film Festival and winning Best Experimental Film at the Magnolia Film Festival, Daniel was glad people changed his mind.
"The entire movie came to me upon waking up from sleep one morning. I immediately got a sketchbook and drew it in storyboard and wrote the narration/poem. The visual look was all completely there in the vision. I wasn't sure how exactly to shoot people entirely in silhouette at the time, but I knew I had to figure it out. This is one of my most popular films."
This short made film critic Melanie Addington declare Daniel "The Edgar Allan Poe of filmmaking".
The exterior shots were all done at Brice's Crossroads National Battlefield. A place deeply rooted in southern culture and history.
