The award-winning short film explores love, loss and loneliness through characters Rae and an uninvited visitor that takes the form of a demon. Delving into the mundane, darkness and inner psyche the film takes you on an emotional journey layered in meaning and what it is to feel and connect.
Soundtracked to Little Dragon's 'Where You Belong' and sound composition by renowned sound artists Andrea Garth and Nick Ainsworth – the music and carefully constructed sound design and foley are intended to further carry the message of the film and Rae's grapples with isolation and longing.
