A short film which was selected for the 2014 Cannes Festival Short Corner.

Shot in an abandoned squat in Berlin, the short film tells the story of a girl visiting memories of an all but forgotten lover. Her meditation opens the door to a dreamworld with a twist, where the borders between real and imaginary begin to blur.

I worked as a composer, sound designer and the post production Audio engineer on this video. It was a challenge as the location was near a road and so all the background ambience included sounds from cars and planes which I had to filter out. The dialogue also needed a lot of work as the rooms in the squat were large, had lots of reverb and also there was a generator hum which needed to be filtered out in most dialogue. Some of the dialogue needed to be re-recorded because the originals were unusable no matter how much noise filtering I tried. Using too much noise filtering can make speech sound very strange so I tend to use it very sparingly and avoid it if possible.

The music was composed by Gauthier Ajarrista from the O.Children and additional music was composed by me.
