Hiraeth



A man faces a decision between clinging to the past or facing an uncertain future.





Writer / Director / DP / Editor


     

     


 

   This emotional drama explores the balance between past and future. Specifically, our human tendencies to hold onto memories long after we’ve outlived our stay. My Grandpa always says, “Don’t overuse your rearview mirror.” 

    But, moving away from the past is never a comfortable action, reguardless of its necessity. Grief makes it tricky. Human connection never goes away, it lingers and waves from afar. How can we balance important memories we’ve made in the past with our desire to grow into our lives? What do we take with us and what do we leave behind?
